Petition response:
Dear Sir/Madam,
RE: Receipt of Petition – Brocton Cross Roads
I refer to the petition, signed by local residents regarding the request regarding the Junctions at Brocton Cross Roads. I can advise you that receipt of the petition will be reported to County Councillor John Francis.
Staffordshire County Council has a statutory responsibility to study road collisions in its area and act as appropriate to reduce their numbers. One study that is currently being undertaken is a route review of the A34 from Queensville Island to Brocton crossroads. This review is still ongoing however once the investigation has concluded, The Council will share its findings with the local Parish Council and the County Councillor.
All road safety considerations across the county are supported through the collation of objectively measured data which is used to design appropriate solutions. This data might include traffic speeds, traffic volumes and road traffic collision data involving personal injury - where this has been reported to the police.
If a pattern of treatable collisions emerges then remedial measures, proportionate to the accident problem, will be proposed and prioritised against other locations across Staffordshire.
Details of how we use objective data to make informed decisions about road safety improvements, as well as information on how these are funded, are available on our website at the following address:

In the meantime, you may wish to consider the advice and guidance available on the Staffordshire Safer Roads Partnership website at www.staffssaferroads.co.uk which aims to provide support to tackle anti-social driving in our communities.
Yours sincerely,
Richard Rayson
Community Highways Manager
