Road safety to be prioritised by South Yorkshire's Police and Crime Commissioner in new plan
Speeding has been raised as a particular worry in South Yorkshire
Plans have been put in place to reintroduce community speed watch teams across South Yorkshire.
Following a meeting with the South Yorkshire Safer Roads Partnership, the Police and Crime Commissioner has pledged to prioritise road safety in his new police and crime plan.
South Yorkshire’s PCC has decided to prioritise the issue of road safety within his new Police and Crime Plan, following discussions with the South Yorkshire Safer Roads Partnership.
Speeding has been raised as a particular worry and it's been agreed that plans will be put in place to re-start community speed watch programmes, which were put on hold because of the pandemic.
Dr Billings said in the plan: “Issues around road safety and speeding began to dominate many conversations at town and parish council meetings.
“I will give support to the Road Safety Partnership’s work in seeking to improve
safety in towns and villages and will convene a meeting with partners with the aim of sharing information and understanding the work being undertaken in this area.”
