On Thursday 26th Feb.2009 the “Localities” meeting for the Eastern rural team was held at Baginton Village Hall. The following priorities for resources were agreed:

2) Inconsiderate vehicle parking across the whole area especially close to schools in the villages of Radford Semele and Cubbington.
Driving For Work
The Facts
It's estimated that around 200 road deaths and serious injuries each week involve someone at work. Around one third of all crashes are estimated to involve someone who was at work at the time - meaning that up to 1,000 lives are lost a year where someone is driving for work.
For Employees, Key Risk Behaviours
mobile phone use ,speeding, driving while tired
For Employers, The Benefits of Managing Work-Related Road Safety
Some employers believe, incorrectly, that provided they comply with certain road traffic law requirements, eg company vehicles have a valid MOT certificate, and that drivers hold a valid licence, this is enough to ensure the safety of their employees, and others, when they are on the road. However, health and safety law applies to on-the-road work activities as to all work activities, and the risks should be effectively managed within a health and safety management system.
The true costs of accidents to organisations are nearly always higher than just the costs of repairs and insurance claims. The consequences of an accident on the self-employed and small businesses are likely to be proportionately greater than on a larger business with greater resources. Case studies and research have shown that benefits from managing work-related road safety and reducing crashes include
· fewer days lost due to injury;
· reduced risk of work-related ill health;
· reduced stress and improved morale;
· less need for investigation and paperwork;
· less lost time due to work rescheduling;
· fewer vehicles off the road for repair;
· reduced running costs through better driving standards;
· fewer missed orders and business opportunities so reduced risk of losing the goodwill of customers;
· less chance of key employees being banned from driving, eg as a result of points on their licences.
Promoting sound health and safety driving practices and a good safety culture at work may well spill over into private driving, which could reduce the chances of staff being injured in a crash outside work.
Drivers of Warwickshire Police vehicles will always drive according to force policy and their authorisation consequently setting a suitable standard of driving which other Warwickshire road users can aspire to.
