Close down unsafe underpasses Petition: Signature List Feed http://gopetition.com/signatures/close-down-unsafe-underpasses.html Online petition signatures en-us Wed, 15 Apr 2026 03:47 UTC GoPetition RSS Feed Generator Copyright 2026 GoPetition julie hyslop [Signature #84] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/13540803?utm_medium=rss I have several friends in areas of underpasses with a history of muggings and attacks and feel they are an ideal spot for such criminal activities. I've also known someone murdered there by teenegers 'just for kicks'.
The passes need to be closed as people in a hurry will stil use them or folks who feel it is their right to walk where they want to, but are still in danger of attack. The passes are also ideal hang-outs for kids to take drugs, drink, vandalize etc etc and I fear for any niave teenege girls who hang out there too.

It's unsafe and unclean. Definitely understand why so many risk life and limb running across the dual carriageway to avoid this death trap waiting to happen.

For years these unsafe underpasses have encouraged theft, sexual, verbal and physical attacks on residents and visitors alike. The irony is that us locals view it safer to cross the busy dual carriage ways rather than take the risk and use the underpasses. We ask that the council will listen to the local residents by closing the underpasses and finding an alternative!

They are dangerous, and are unsafe for anyone to use. Why they were ever built I will never know, they are just under tunnels which are easy for anyone to attack, mug, rape or attack anyone who might use them. Get rid of them altogether. Many women have been attacked under these, and for this reason, they should be shut down and overpasses of crossing lights installed instead.

My mother is 73 and will walk the half hour it takes to get to her doctor rather than take a bus, she is frightened she will be attacked when she is on her own. The underpasses are prime hotspots for these unprovoked attacks. I also have to use them to get to my doctor. The underpasses should be closed down and overpasses should be erected. If nothing is done someone else will be a victim. Hope its not me or mine.
