Text of Petition:                    

On Saturday 13 May 2023 Ashley Thomas Rogers tragically lost his life at the A477 'Fingerpost' junction travelling towards Pembroke. His death marked the third fatality on that stretch of road within the space of 12 years. Further, there have been innumerable near misses on what is known locally as a 'black spot' for road traffic accidents. Enough is enough. This petition calls upon the Welsh Government to do the right thing and prioritise human life over trivial budgeting pressure.
