Peace In The Park Brings Powerful Message of Remembrance and Road Safety

A powerful symbol of remembrance, hope, and advocacy has arrived in Hereford. The RoadPeace Doves, part of the national Peace in the Park campaign, are now on display until the end of summer bringing with them a moving message of reflection, remembrance, and road safety.

A Poignant Message Behind Every Dove

Each dove in the installation tells a story.

“The photos of the victims you see on the doves are someone’s family member. The doves are a reminder that behind every headline or statistic you hear, someone has lost their life, and families are changed forever. The doves were made by bereaved family members and young people involved in driving-related crime to highlight the devastating impact that road death has.

It’s incredibly moving for our West Mercia and West Midlands members to see the journey the doves have been on across the region.

From my personal perspective, as a bereaved sister, I feel incredibly moved to see the doves displayed in the county I call “home”.

We are incredibly grateful to CFG Law and Hereford Cathedral for their efforts in ensuring this happened and extremely proud of our members for their continued efforts and support, in the hope that one day, there will be no deaths on our roads.”

This heartfelt message reminds us that behind every statistic is a life lost, and a family grieving.

A Community United in Hope

Every year, too many lives are lost or changed forever by road collisions. The RoadPeace Doves installation calls on us all to reflect on the costand to join the growing movement for safer streets and greater awareness.
