Residents in Kings Bromley have handed over a petition calling for new safety measures after a woman died in a hit-and-run incident.

June Baker died in October last year at the junction of Yoxall Road and Church Lane.

Locals said the 80-year-old’s death had come following concerns about the impact of issues such as speeding in the village.

They have now handed over a petition to Cllr Richard Cox, Conservative member for Lichfield Rural West at Staffordshire County Council.

Organiser Yvonne Sheldon said:

> “Following the very tragic accident in our village – and after hearing the comments from the residents – I felt that I wanted to do something that might make a difference.  
>  
> “I wanted raise awareness by getting a petition together to try and improve our village road safety and prevent any similar accident again.”   
>  
> Yvonne Sheldon

The petition has been signed by 447 people.

Cllr Cox said:

> “Following the tragic death of June Baker, residents in Kings Bromley are wanting improved highway and pedestrian safety measures including additional street lighting.   
>  
> “The petition will be presented to Staffordshire County Council at the annual council meeting on 16th May, when I will speak in support of the call for highway improvements in the village, especially along the A515, Yoxall Road and Lichfield Road.”  
>  
> Cllr Richard Cox

Cllr Paul Till, from Kings Bromley Parish Council, said:

> “The tragic death of a member of our village community in a hit-and-run incident has crystallised existing traffic concerns, primarily speeding, through Kings Bromley.  
>  
> “The parish council are fully supportive of the petition – which has been signed by 90% of local households – to Staffordshire County Council requesting measures to control speeding, improve streetlighting and for additional pavements.   
>  
> “We are thankful to Cllr Cox for his support in highlighting our concerns.  
>  
> “As a parish council we will continue our action to press for additional safety measures to be implemented to make our village a safer place.”
