Dear Ian Jones,
I refer to the petition, signed by local residents regarding the Cannock wood road speed limit review. I can confirm that the petition will be reported to County Councillor Rhys Mandry.
The Council is aware of the incident that occurred in Cannock Wood on 18th July this year.
We will however discuss this site further with County Councillor Rhys Mandry at his next Divisional Highway Programme (DHP) meeting.
Should the issue raised in the petition be identified as a Local Community Priority, the Councillor may allocate funding for further investigation—such as accident analysis or traffic surveys—subject to its prioritisation over other comparable highway concerns within the division.
Road safety schemes are prioritised countywide based on accident data, and funding is directed to sites with the greatest proven need, typically where there is a clear pattern of incidents.
Thank you once again for your petition and for bringing this matter to our attention.
Yours sincerely,
Mark Keeling
Community Highways Manager
