Jess Smith is urging local councillors to revive a stalled low-traffic neighbourhood plan after her three-year-old son, Fionn, was struck by a hit-and-run driver in Manor Park. Despite suffering only minor injuries, Smith describes the incident as a parent's nightmare and emphasizes the need for safe streets. The area has previously been identified by Newham council for LTN implementation but faced delays due to objections from drivers. Smith has initiated an online petition to push the council to reconsider the LTN, advocating for safer road conditions for children and pedestrians.
"If the original plan wasn't the right plan, then revisit the plan. Come up with something, because the status quo is not safe."
"It hit him. He hurt his knees and his hand and bashed his face. He was shocked and crying. Miraculously he was relatively uninjured."
