PETITION: Make Walking to School Safer in Irby - Phase 1: Thurstaston Road

David Fairbairn with Irby Road Safety Petition

SafeAcross Irby – Protect Children and School Crossing Patrols

For families in Irby, walking to Dawpool Primary School should be safe.
However, many residents have raised concerns about speeding traffic, poor visibility, and drivers not slowing down near the school crossing patrol on Thurstaston Road. These risks affect children, parents, and the crossing patrol staff every school day.

Greasby, Frankby and Irby campaigner, David Fairbairn, launched the SafeAcross Irby Road Safety Survey so local residents could identify practical improvements.

What Residents Want
The clearest result from the survey is support for Vehicle Activated Speed (VAS) signs near the school crossing.

These signs are proven to be effective in:

• Encouraging drivers to slow down
• Reminding drivers about the road conditions
• Improving safety near schools
• Can be installed quickly with minimal disruption

Further improvements can follow once this first step is in place.

Do You Agree?
If you want safer roads for families in Irby, please support the petition.

SAFE ACROSS IRBY

We the undersigned petition Wirral Council to:
Install two Vehicle Activated Speed (VAS) signs on Thurstaston Road, Irby,
to improve safety for children and families using the school crossing patrol near Dawpool Primary School. The aim is to reduce vehicle speeds approaching the crossing and to reinforce driver awareness of road conditions and the need to slow down near the crossing.
