Pensioner Barbara Howard died after a Jaguar car crashed into her home following a collision with another vehicle.

Enquiries into the tragedy are ongoing and there is no indication that speed was the cause of this particular incident. But it has sparked a petition signed by 167 people calling for safety measures at the junction of Lentons Lane, Shilton Lane and Woodway Lane.

It was one of a number of petitions related to parking, pavements and speeding presented to Coventry City Council at its full council meeting. More than half of those discussed at the Council House centred on the city’s roads and these will now be considered by the relevant council departments.
