Minutes:
The Strategic Director, Place submitted Document “C” which sought to update members on current casualty levels and trends in the Bradford District and on the Road Safety Education, Training and Publicity initiatives aimed at reducing these casualties.
Members made comments relating to the lack of financial information in the report such as where the money was spent and how it was allocated; how did West Yorkshire compare to the national trend; how did Bradford compare with the West Yorkshire data; what was the age of children that were seriously injured or fatal; investment in this area continued but it was worrying not to see a reduction in casualties; how do you stop the culture of driving without a licence and insurance?; how was anti-social driving being tackled in Bradford?
In response to Members comments it was reported that a lot of work was being undertaken in schools and the service worked with the Police and West Yorkshire Fire Service to deliver appropriate training.
Resolved -
(1) That an evidence based approach to determining Road Safety priorities continue to be supported.
(2) That a Police representative attend a future meeting of the Committee to explain the work being undertaken to tackle anti-social driving.
