Minutes:

A discussion took place regarding KSI targets, data and classifications and what was being done to encourage school travel plans and active travel. A Member requested that data be separated so that it would distinguish between those who were injured, seriously injured and those who had died. She expressed the view that more clarity was required and that LBB should provide this data---she said that TfL were already doing this.

 

The Portfolio Holder commented that every death was one too many. Each KSI incident was looked at in great detail. The LBB Road Safety Manager said that herself or another officer would meet with police before an inquest to ascertain what could be learned from the incident before the matter was considered at the Coroners Court.

 

A Member stated that she felt uncomfortable in considering targets. She felt that the focus should be on minimising accidents. She agreed with the principle that the term ‘accident’ should be replaced by ‘collision’ and expressed the view that the trend was upwards. The Portfolio Holder commented that the baseline had reduced and that the trend was downwards.

 

RESOLVED that the ECS Performance Overview be noted.
