In this episode I was joined by Natalie Warr who is the partnership manager for Vision Zero South West. We discuss the vision of reducing the numbers of people seriously injured or killed on the roads in the South West. The initial aim is to reduce these numbers by 50% by 2030 and eventually down to zero. 47 people were killed on the roads in Devon and Cornwall in 2022 and 741 seriously injured.

There is a wealth of information on their website https://visionzerosouthwest.co.uk/ covering a range of areas from motor cyclists, business and older drivers, horse riders, cyclists, pedestrians and learners.

Among the issues discussed is Operation Snap where dashcam evidence of poor driving can be submitted - the website is https://operationsnap.devon-cornwall.police.uk/

Natalie and I were due to be joined by two of her partnership colleagues from Devon and Somerset Fire service but the gremlins got in the way soo I am arranging to speak with them at a later date, probably in September.
