My cat was tragically killed on Forest Road due to the negligence and thoughtlessness of drivers. This incident is not isolated; another cat from across the road also met a similar fate. These incidents highlight an urgent need for change in our community.

Forest Road in Leytonstone, E11 has become a danger zone for pets and potentially pedestrians too due to reckless driving. The absence of speed cameras or signs has allowed drivers to disregard speed limits with impunity.

According to Transport for London's report in 2019, there were 25,341 reported road traffic collisions in Greater London alone (source: TfL). This statistic underscores the severity of this issue that extends beyond just our neighborhood.

We propose the immediate implementation of speed cameras and visible signage along Forest Road. These measures have been proven effective at reducing speeds; studies show that they can reduce fatal accidents by up to 44% (source: RAC Foundation).

Our beloved pets should not be victims of reckless driving. We urge local authorities to take action now before more lives are lost or endangered on Forest Road.
