The Assistant Director for Neighbourhood Safety and Transport introduced the report of the Director for Neighbourhood Services which provided an update on progress made in planning, funding and implementing the recommendations of the Road Safety Working Group as requested by the Environment, Climate Emergency and Transport Committee on 7 September 2021. Liverpool City Region had since adopted a road safety policy focussing on ‘Vision Zero’ to reduce the number and severity of road accidents.

The Chair urged Members to attend training on new transport guidance which prioritised walkers and cyclists. It was emphasised that in all schemes an assessment of safety was the starting point.

Members discussed aspects of the report and welcomed the offer of a further update on which schemes could be achieved within the financial year.

Resolved: That

the update on the recommendations of the Road Safety Working Group as set out as appendix A to this report be endorsed.
