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.

justice.

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.
