• IT is disappointing that this year only 22 churches nationwide responded to Road­Peace’s request to hold prayerful events in November in remembrance of those killed and injured on Britain’s roads.

Such occasions offer comfort and companionship to those bereaved or injured by such tragedies. Altogether, 1,792 people died on Britain’s roads, and 69 of these were children. Yet it is still rare to learn of any church leader speaking out against such carnage on the country’s highways.
