Campaigners call for a lower speed limit within the New Forest
A petition for a speed limit of 30 miles per hour in parts of the New Forest has already attracted several thousand signatures.
Campaigners launched the petition after a young donkey named Jo-Jo was knocked down and killed on a road in the area.
Adie Callaghan and Fiona MacDuff chose to use an online petition to raise awareness of the issue. They could use flyer printing in Southampton (Hedge End) if they want additional backing for their campaign.
Over 3,000 individuals have lent their support via the petition. The principal aim of the campaign is to get drivers to travel at or below 30 miles per hour when they are moving along roads without fences.
Ms Callaghan, who works in marketing, has said:
Around 70 cows, donkeys and ponies suffer fatal accidents on the roads of the New Forest each year.
Ms MacDuff, who is a graphic designer, has said that she wants to obtain 10,000 signatures on the petition. Nigel Matthews, who works for the authority of the National Park, has said that drivers should attempt to be more prudent when they are going about their ordinary business.

Ms Callaghan, who works in marketing, has said:
“Speed is the big issue, coupled with people’s lack of comprehension that they’re in a national park. We need a combination of solutions, including a review of speed limits at accident blackspots and more signage.”
