Scheme aims to cut accidents near schools

Ribble Valley MP Nigel Evans is backing a campaign to cut the number of accidents around schools and encour­ age communities to help de­ velop solutions to road safety


issues in their area. Newly published figures - drawn from analysis of more than 200,000 pieces of data from the Department for Transport - highlight prob­ lems faced by road users around schools - for exam­ ple, a high prevalence of ac­ cidents involving cyclists, or people using mobile technol­ ogy. The figures also show


• which age groups are par­ ticularly vulnerable to being involved in a road traffic ac­ cident. A startling 68% of all child

road traffic incidents be­ tween 2008 and 2013 were found to have happened in the 500 metres around schools. Although the past three years have seen the to­ tal number of UK accidents fall by 9%, six of the 11 re­ gions in the UK have seen an


: increase in the proportion, of accidents around schools in the past three years (2011- 13), compared to the previous three (2008-11). • For example the figures


shows that between 2008 and 20013 there were 31 accidents \vithin500 metres ofWhalley Primary School, four involv­ ing children, six involving pe-

destrians and four involving cyclists. Following the publica­


tion of the data, AXA Insur­ ance has also launched the first road safety crowdfund: ing campaign to enable lo­ cal communities to source funds and help pay for vital road safety initiatives identi­ fied as being needed around schools. Anybody, from a parent or local road safety officer, to schools, local cam­ paigners, local authorities or businesses, can use the serv­ ice to pay for things like the printing costs following a school road safety drawing competition, funding a lol­ lipop person or a pedestrian crossing.- . Adedicatedteamatwww.


crowdfunder.co.uk will help every project get o f f the ground, offering ongoing help and guidance. As part of the programme, AXA Insur-' ance has committed an ini­ tial £10,000 to “match-fund” the projects and get them


funded. Attending the Parliamen­


tary launch of the 2014 inter­ active AXA Local Road Safety Map, Mr Evans commented: “Road safety in Ribble Valley is an incredibly important issue. The number of road accidents in the UK, whilst falling, is still too high and we need to do all we can to support parents, schools and councils understand the risks and take steps to address them. “The AXA Local Road


Safety Map is a vital tool in highlighting where the dan­ gers are, and I warmly wel­ come the work being done by AXA to match-fund road safety initiatives. This fund­ ing not only encourages lo-


. cal communities to work together to bring down the number of accidents on their local roads, but also provides much needed resource when local authority budgets are under increasing financial pressures.”
