Memorial for Road Traffic Victims in Warwickshire

Warwickshire Road Safety Partnership commissioned a permanent memorial for all who have been lost or injured on our roads. The permanent memorial is situated at Hartshill Hayes Country Park as part of our commemorative woodland which can be accessed if you take the left path as you pass the playground (What 3 words: highlight.canoe.test).

The memorial offers a peaceful location for people to gather to pay tribute to family members, friends, or colleagues whose lives have been affected by a road traffic collision.

Using drones

• Hobbyist – We do not authorise hobbyist drone flying in any of our parks or greenways. The reason for this is to protect wildlife including schedule 1 bird species, and ensure a safe experience for all visitors who enjoy our parks.
• Commercial Operations – A pilot requires permission of the landowner (WCC) to take off and land the drone on their property. We only permit a CAA licensed pilot/company. Any requests must be in writing to the Parks Manager parks@warwickshire.gov.uk.
