Road Safety

The SaferPeterborough partnership has a target to reduce the number of people killed and seriously injured on Peterborough roads by 40% and to reduce the number of children (0 to 15 years of age) killed or seriously injured on our roads by 50% by the end of 2010.

The road safety action plan contains key areas of work to reduce casualties in Peterborough by focusing on the following areas: Young drivers, speed, motorcyclists, migrant road users, work-related road safety, drink and drug driving, in-car safety and young people.

UPDATE: 5 March 2013 A Government minister has praised Peterborough for helping victims of domestic violence get justice. See full press release and video here
UPDATE: 12 February 2013 There has been a spate of fires being set in wheelie bins, discarded furniture and some vehicles, across the city. We have teamed up with other agencies, including the fire service to tackle this problem. You can help to prevent these types of offences, by ensuring that wheelie bins are not left in the street after collection, or if they are full, kept in a safe place until they can be emptied. Report any discarded furniture to the local authority so they can make arrangements to collect it. We are also working with youths both in and out of schools to educate them about the dangers of setting fires and asking them to be vigilant when out and about. Please report any suspicious activity around fires to the Police on 101.
