A petition to improve road safety on the A10 has received over 1,600 signatures.
The petition wants council help to upgrade the junction of the A10 and Car Dyke Road at Waterbeach, as well as reducing the speed limit to 40mph along the residential section of the road.
Writing on Change.org, Flora Loizou, who launched the petition, said: “We have been asking for improvements on this road for years and nothing is done.
My main emotion is one of sheer disappointment that I ve found out the people who should be responsible for the safety of pedestrians think they are doing a good job, even though Louis is dead.
Following the tragedy, Mr Thorold set up the Louis Thorold Foundation. Over £25,000 was raised in his son’s memory.
Part of its vision is to reduce infant pedestrian road deaths through the promotion and advancement of road safety”.
The county council has said one of its studies had highlighted a number of A10 junctions that required attention – and the Car Dyke Road junction was not listed.
