There has been at least 3 crashes requiring ambulances this year so far!</p> <p>I'm looking for a couple of volunteers to help me run a short campaign to get as complete a list of incidents as possible so that we can present them to the powers that be.</p> <p>A recent response from Network Rail said the signs we optimum and there was only 3 incidents in 10years (1 in 2016 &amp; 2 in 2017).</p> <p>Anyone willing to help or know of someone who could?</p> <p>I don't expect it will be a long campaign or need much, but getting the message out to send us details and collating them should be sufficient for action.</p> <p>Please PM me your email address if you can help out.</p> <p>Thank you </p>
