He’s looking forward to starting a new chapter In his policing career to work in collaboration with the Vision Zero partnership. He said: “I have already started supporting Peterborough City Council to deliver face-to-face road safety presentations in schools to target 200 vulnerable road users. “Road deaths have a profound impact on everyone affecting the families of victims, those who cause the collision and officers attending the incidents. “If anyone has a speeding concern in their community that they would like to discuss with me, please get in touch.” Email: road.safety@cambridgeshire.gov.uk You can find more information on the Road Safety Partnership here: https://www.cprsp.co.uk/ |
