These pages are provided to give information about the ongoing work of the Road Safety Group within the West Lancs District and will be updated monthly.

Road Safety services are provided for the benefit of all citizens of Lancashire, however some services are more specifically targeted to help in the reduction of casualties. Specific targeting is driven by local casualty statistics and by Central Government directives.

For Driver Training and Publicity information in Lancashire select this link

We would welcome any feedback you may have on the presentation and content of these pages to help improve this service for you.

a 40% reduction in the nuber of people killed or seriously injured in road accidents;
a 50% reduction in the number of children killed or seriously injured; and
a 10% reduction in the slight casualty rate, expressed as the number of people slightly injured per 100 million vehicle kilometres."
