About Us

The Lancashire Partnership for Road Safety is a multi-agency Partnership committed to reducing the numbers of deaths and injuries on Lancashire's roads. It is a long-term commitment to making fundamental positive changes in the public’s attitudes towards road user behaviour.

We aim to reduce the deaths and serious injuries on our roads through promoting:

Reduce speed.
Increase the wearing of seatbelts & correct fitting of restraints.
Reduce drink driving.
Reduce drug driving.
Discourage the use of mobile phones whilst driving
Improve public perception of and support for speed cameras.

The Partnership's goal is to save lives across Lancashire, reduce injury and disability and make Lancashire a safer place in which to walk, ride and drive. By doing this we are contributing to the Government's 2010 road casualty reduction targets.

The priority is to change the behaviour of drivers through education, training and on-going publicity campaigns.

Enforcement only applies to those who refuse to change their behaviour and is a LAST RESORT.

In Lancashire this will mean:

A total of 40 lives saved
580 fewer people seriously injured
760 fewer people slightly injured

The Partners working together to make this happen are: Lancashire Constabulary, Lancashire County Council, Blackburn with Darwen Unitary Authority, Blackpool Council, NHS organisations, Highways Agency, Her Majesty's Court Service and Government Office North West and the Lancashire Fire & Rescue Service.

A representative from each of these partner organisations sits on the Partnership Project Board. These people are:

Peter O'Brien, Assistant Chief Fire Officer - Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service (Chair of the Board)
Steve Whitehouse, Project Manager - Lancashire Partnership for Road Safety
Vali Birang, Head of Traffic and Safety - Lancashire County Council
