Road users and advocates for road safety have been urged to join a new forum aiming to “positively drive change” after a further three people died in less than 24 hours following separate accidents.

The Road User Safety Forum, established by the Department of Transport, will underpin the Government’s current 2030 road safety strategy, emphasising phase two of that plan which runs from 2025 until 2027.
