There are several ways in which road safety can be improved and maybe with the below proposed changes Abbey and Bradley would still be here today.

Proposed changes:
Strategic placement and increased turning radius of field entrances
Lower speed limit for single carriageway rural roads from 60mph to 40mph
Maintenance of hedges and trees adjacent to roads
Introduction of speed cameras on rural roads to enforce the speed limit changes
