In 2010, there were 1323 crashes on the county's roads, resulting in 1797 casualties. Of these, 319 people were either killed or seriously injured. The overall number of casualties was nearly 12% lower than in 2009, and the number of people killed or seriously injured has reduced by nearly 14%.
Casualty reduction is one of our key priorities. Our priorities and targets for the next three years are set out in the Economy, Transport and Environment pages of the Council Plan.
Our approach to road safety, transport education and speed management is set out in chapter 4 of Local Transport Plan 3, 2011 to 2026.
