Manuela Perteghella

Liberal Democrat — Stratford-on-Avon

Speaking in the House of Commons on 14 January 2026

Debate

Horse and Rider Road Safety

Contribution

I am grateful to my hon. Friend the Member for Newbury (Mr Dillon) for securing this important debate in support of the equestrian community. Stratford-on-Avon is a deeply rural constituency with fast-moving country roads and narrow lanes. For many riders, using public roads is not a choice but a necessity, and too often that comes with real and frightening risks. Per mile travelled, rural roads are the most dangerous in the country, accounting for well over half of all road deaths.
