Speaking in the House of Commons on 9 June 2026

Debate

Road Safety: West Midlands

Contribution

I very much hope that those people will have heard my hon. Friend’s message and will take action to ensure that everybody is safe using the roads. As I was saying, road safety is not the responsibility of one organisation alone; it requires action from Government, from local authorities, from enforcement agencies and from road users themselves. This Government are determined to reduce road deaths and serious injuries on our roads. Through our road safety strategy, through stronger local partnerships and through a renewed focus on the causes of collisions, we are taking a more determined and more proactive approach. I assure the hon. Member for Stratford-on-Avon that the concerns she has raised today will be carefully considered and that we will continue to work closely with partners across the west midlands to support further progress. I once again thank her for securing this important debate. Question put and agreed to.
