A social media post thanked drivers for travelling safely.

The post said: "Earlier this week, Acting Chief Constable Sam de Reya and Donna Jones, the Police and Crime Commissioner, met with Edward Heron, the official Verderer, and Gilly Jones, from the New Forest Roads Awareness Team and Chair of the Animal Accident Reduction Group, to discuss Op Mountie and our plans to tackle speeding into the future.

"We spent time on Rollestone Road because you asked us to so if you have any other road suggestions please let us know."
