DfT has released statistics showing an increase in road causalities across Great Britain.  The number of fatalities on Britain's roads increased to 1,901 in 2011 a rise of 51 on 2010, with deaths of pedestrians and car occupants increasing by 12% and 6% respectively

CIHT is concerned that the loss of skilled road safety professionals in both public and private sectors has contributed to the reduced focus on safety.  CIHT calls on government to show leadership in highway management, to ensure that casualty prevention remains a high priority in all authorities.
