Widow Condemns ‘Just Appalling’ Plan to Remove Roadside Memorials - 15/12/2025

from The Agenda

The widow of a man who died in a road crash has condemned as “just appalling” a Department of Transport proposal to remove roadside memorials. Officials believe the tributes should be banned on motorways, dual carriageways, regional and local roads where the speed limit is above 60km/ph. A spokesperson said existing memorials could remain, so long as they are not a “clear hazard to road users or interfere with maintenance activities”. Park Road Safety Advocacy Group spokesperson Susan Gray says that she was shocked when a journalist called her to ask for comment as she had heard nothing about it.Susan joined us on The Agenda this morning to talk to us some more about this.  Hosted on Acast.
