The Forest of Dean road safety group, composed of county, district, parish, town councillors, emergency service members, highways, and forestry officers, has long campaigned for this reduction. Despite a decade of rising road fatalities, including recent deaths and dozens of wild animals killed in accidents, the current speed limits remain dangerously high.
