Series of cyclist hit-and-run deaths sparks Birmingham road safety operation which sees more than 70 motorists stopped, one allegedly watching a video on their phone behind the wheel cycling
"It was extremely poignant, we went there because of the hit-and-run on Thursday, but opposite the railings where we were, there's a memorial to Hope," Paul Manzotti from Better Streets for Birmingham, the campaign group behind the protest told road.cc, referencing the memorial to Hope Fenell who was killed in a collision involving an HGV driver in 2011.
"It's been 12 years, and very little has changed. People are angry and frightened about the state of our roads. There's a real determination and a lot of people have reached the point of 'enough is enough'. We have been at the words stage, now we want action."We’ve noticed you’re using an ad blocker.
