Decision details

To approve the Road Safety Strategy.

RESOLVED:  That, subject to approval of the Local Implementation Plan 3 (LIP3) by Council, the Harrow Road Safety Strategy set out at Appendix A to the officer report be approved.

Reason for Decision:  The publication of the road safety strategy provided greater detail as to how the borough would implement many of the road safety initiatives identified in the Transport Local Implementation Plan (LIP3).

A Road Safety strategy was an effective way to show that Harrow was discharging its duty under the Road Traffic Act 1988.  The Act required authorities to prepare and carry out a programme of measures designed to promote road safety.  A local road safety strategy was a central part of the evidence to show how this was being undertaken in Harrow.
