Councils and Local Authorities have always played an important role in road safety.
The DfT and Highways England are implementing a Government programme to help reduce the number of collisions and casualties on our roads and in doing so reduce the considerable pressure on resources, both human and financial nationally in dealing with road incidents involving who use our roads for work.
I would like to invite your authority’s commitment to this Government programme by registering with the form below.
I would also like to encourage you to review your own risk assessments, policies and procedures, adopting the Driving for Better Business 7-Steps to Excellence to ensure that we are not in a position to be challenged as we seek to engage with UK business.
