“We want to slow the speed of traffic to protect our residents and children crossing at the robots,” said Ward 23 councillor and petition organiser, Andre de Lange.

“There are so many accidents in that area,” he added.

De Lange petitioned to the City of uMhlathuze, but the proposal needs community support.

“With the petition, that’ll make it happen,” said De Lange.
