Submitted by Hannah McFaull of University of Essex Students' Union – Deadline to sign up by: 13 June 2007 – Signatures: 1,793
In the last 10 months 2 students have been killed in road traffic accidents on an unlit stretch of road bordering the campus of the University of Essex. There have been a number of other fatalities and injuries in the time before that.
The University students and staff have been requesting safety measures here for a number of years and have been told a number of times that the proposed measures will cost "too much money".
This is not acceptable.
Please add your names to the petition in support of our drive for safety.
Many thanks
University of Essex Students' Union
