Election of Vice-Chairman 2.1 Mrs J Chamberlin was duly elected Vice Chairman of the Road Casualty Reduction Partnership Board for the ensuing year. 3. Apologies for absence 3.1 Apologies received from Mrs J Chamberlin, Mr M Knight (Highways England) and Mr A Mickelthwaite. 4 Minutes of the meeting held on 21 st July The minutes of the meeting held on the 21 st July 2015 were confirmed as a correct record and signed by the Chairman. 4.2 Referring to point 11.3 of the minutes, Mr D Stephens updated the Board that 4

5 there had been very positive engagement with Norfolk Constabulary around data sharing since the last meeting and it was hoped there would be sharing of data and analysis in the future with the police and also with the fire service. 5 Declarations of Interest 5.1 No declarations of interest were made. 6 To receive any items proposed as matters of urgent business 6.1 None 7 Powered Two Wheeler Sub-Group Update 7.1 The Board received the presentation (Appendix A) from Mr I Temperton which provided an update on the progress made by the Powered Two Wheeler Sub Group. 7.2 The following points were raised during the discussion:- Mr I Temperton informed the Board that the Sub-Group was formed of the following people: - Andy Micklethwaite (Chair) - RSO NCC - Sgt Andy Spall Norfolk Constabulary Roads Policing (will need replacing autumn 2016 as he retires) - Paul Milner Norfolk Group of Advanced Motorcyclists (Norwich IAM branch) - Soji Ojelade Fenland IAM bike group - Phil Armes Ex racer & Manx Grand Prix winner - John Walton Specialist knowledge of dealing with young riders - John Jenkins RoSPA trainer and member of the Fenland IAM group - Geoff Cadman Motorcycle Action Group. MAG is a national riders campaigning and pressure group for riders interests. They had 11 MP s as members before the last election. Continuous training for motorcyclists was believed to be the key to reducing the number of casualties within this sub-group. Analysis had shown that most KSI s in this group were caused by rider error or lack of experience. The Hugger Approved Trainer scheme had been paused due to the Motor Cycle Industry Association having a similar scheme already in play; discussions were underway to join the existing scheme but possibly with the Hugger brand. As the Hugger brand had become very popular and was widely recognised in the area. Those that had previously been missed with the training schemes were now being targeted by the new police bikes from Norfolk Constabulary; when bikers were pulled over they would be advised about the training programmes available. So far there had been 4 signed up to the first 5

6 course, 9 on the second course and 8 on the third course. However, there was a 4-5 month window of time between being advised by the police and partaking in the course so the numbers may increase. The number of powered two wheelers on the road accounted for around 1% of the traffic nationally, further figures which could be gleaned from licences and bike registrations would be provided to the Board at a future date. The main profile of a powered two wheeler rider that would most likely be involved in an accident was a middle aged male that would take his bike out sporadically through the year. 7.3 The Board noted the presentation. 8 Road Casualty Reduction Progress Update 8.1 The Board received the update from the Assistant Director of Community and Environmental Services, which outlined the progress made against Norfolk s local target of 33% reduction in killed or seriously injured (KSI) casualties. 8.2 The KSI figures for August 2015 for each sub-group were as follows: - 96 Powered Two Wheeler s Pedestrians/Cyclists - 90 Young Drivers - 54 Older Persons Three of the groups were on target for the year, however the aspiration for all KSI to maintain the same number as 2014 (375) was unlikely to be achieved largely due to the KSI figures for pedestrians and cyclists. The Board was advised that the spike in the KSI figures for pedestrian and cyclists was actually down to pedestrian casualties rather than cyclists and the need for further data analysis was agreed. D Stephens to provide further analysis for the Board at next meeting. 8.3 Survey s had been undertaken which looked into the journeys of cyclists and this might help to provide some more finite detail around these figures. It was agreed that the data pulled from these surveys should be considered by the sub-group and their advice shared with members of the Board. - Officer s advised that the data already available pointed towards distraction being the main cause for accidents within this sub-group; the increased use of mobile devices meant that the individuals concentration when out and about was a lot less now. 6

7 8.4 Whether other factors such as alcohol use played a part was questioned: it was felt that engagement with the ambulance service was key as they would have data that would help to create a link between alcohol use and KSI figures. 8.5 When the base line for measuring the levels of KSI in the county was looked at in 2013, the impact of the economy and the ongoing recession was considered however, it was found that Norfolk was less effected than other counties by the economic downturn. 8.6 One of the main goals of all the sub-groups was to increase every road user s education around personal responsibility. 9 Norfolk Road Casualty Reduction Partnership Delivery Plan 9.1 The Board received the Delivery Plan for the Road Casualty Reduction Partnership which outlined the future business and action plan. 9.2 The following points were discussed:- The focus for the Road Casualty team over the next couple of months would be on the Fatal Four work, with drink driving in the lead up to Christmas being the major focus. The Why Wouldn t You campaign was believed to still be fresh and effective. The Young Drivers sub-group had launched their Honest Truth programme in August and had plans in place to hold further events to encourage more driving instructors to get on board. The Older Drivers sub-group had distributed questionnaires in local garden centres and the data compiled from this would inform the future work programme for this group. In reference to the Older Driver Sub-Group it was discussed how there were certain pockets within the medical profession where there had been positive engagement in raising awareness about the services provided by the sub group. However it was discussed that this was an area that could be looked into further, for example eye tests and flu clinics could provide information around the services that the Road Casualty Reduction Group could provide. More needed to be done to encourage more joined up working around this. J Cox from Public Health would look in to this and report back to the Board. Officers introduced Anne Pointin the new Head of Norfolk Safety Camera Partnership; the project regarding the introduction of average speed cameras would be picked up now Anne was in post. The team had carried out a Road Safety First in Great Yarmouth which had involved having police officers in every school giving talks, increased road policing, checks for use of Red Diesel. This was considered to be 7

8 very intensive and high profile way to get people talking and make road users aware. - The Board queried the effectiveness of the event and asked if there could be a way to measure if there were ongoing effects. It was suggested that the event be repeated in same area to see if effects were the same at a different time. The Board members raised a point around the focus on drink driving still being the key area even though figures from the Road Safety event showed that mobile phone use was a more common occurrence. Officers advised that driving under the influence must not be underestimated and the focus should remain. 10. Highways England Area 6 Casualty Reduction Update 10.1 Due to the presenting officer being absent from the meeting, the Chair asked members of the Board to note the report and feedback any comments to the Committee Officer for response to be provided at the next meeting. 11. Any Other Business 11.1 The Board decided that considering the continued rise in pedestrian and cyclist KSI figures they would like the Vulnerable User Sub-Group to provide a further update at the next meeting, with a stronger focus on the pedestrian casualties. The meeting closed at 11.33am.

13 Road Casualty Reduction Partnership Item No. 5 Report title: Casualty Reduction Progress Update Date of meeting: 12 January 2016 Responsible Chief Tracy Jessop, Assistant Director, CES Officer: Strategic impact While the Government s Strategic Framework for Road Safety does not set specific targets for levels of road casualty reduction, Norfolk set a local target of 33% reduction in killed or seriously injured (KSI) casualties. Progress against the target is shown in the graph in Appendix C. Executive summary The latest available rolling twelve month figure for killed or seriously-injured (KSI) casualties is 402 to the end of November 2015, which represents a 13% reduction from the baseline figure of 462. The total number of KSI casualties remains above the interim target level (379 at the end of November 2015) and this shows a continuation of an upward trend in KSI over the last 5 years. Currently KSI road casualties in Norfolk are back to the levels at the start of the current monitoring period. The four Key Target Groups are expected to make up 85% of the groups most likely to be involved in KSI road casualties. Based on the current KSI numbers for each Key Target Group, the aspiration for All KSI to maintain the same number as 2014 (375) is currently not likely to be achieved. Going forward into 2016 it is considered that maintaining the level of KSIs at the current level of about 400 per year is an achievable but challenging objective for business planning purposes. Recommendations: Members of the Board are asked to comment on the report. 1. Proposal (or options) 1.1. There are no proposals associated with this report. The key trends have been shared at the Road Casualty Reduction Partnership Data Meetings and provide the basis for development of interventions and actions by the Sub-groups as set out in the Business Plan. 2. Evidence 13

14 2.1. The table in Appendix A1 shows the total numbers of KSI casualties in Norfolk during the 5 year baseline period from 2005 to 2009, broken down into the vehicle types involved and showing casualties as drivers or riders, passengers and pedestrians The data show that the following groups were involved as the largest contributors to the total of 2313 KSI casualties recorded: Car drivers 807 (34.89%) Motorcycle riders 520 (22.48%) Car passengers 374 (16.17%) Pedestrians in collision with cars 245 (10.59%) All the other groups contributed less than 10% of the total casualties Taken together, pedestrian involvements in collisions with all vehicles accounted for 12.88% of all KSI casualties during Collisions involving cyclists accounted for 7.35% of the total. Monitoring of these two groups also showed that in urban built-up areas these numbers were not reducing in line with reductions for the other groups In order to target resources most effectively it was agreed by the Partnership to focus on 4 Key Target Groups comprising those road users most likely to be involved in collisions. These are: Younger Drivers (aged years old) Older Drivers (aged 70 years and over) Motorcyclists (Powered-two-wheeler) Vulnerable Road Users (Pedestrians and Cyclists) 2.5. The table in Appendix A2 shows the total numbers of KSI casualties in Norfolk during the first 5 years of the current monitoring period from 2010 to 2014, broken down into the vehicle types involved and showing casualties as drivers or riders, passengers and pedestrians. The data show that the following groups were involved as the largest contributors to the total of 1,832 KSI casualties recorded: Car drivers 555 (30.29%) Motorcycle riders 444 (24.24%) Car passengers 268 (14.63%) Pedestrians in collision with cars 222 (12.12%) All other groups contributed less than 10% of the total casualties. However, cyclist involvements in this period had risen from 7.35% to 9.28% of the total Taken as a whole, pedestrian involvements in collisions with all vehicles accounted for 15.12% of all KSI casualties during Whilst total numbers of casualties had not risen, the proportion for Vulnerable Road Users had increased to 24.18%. As well as comprising nearly 1 in 4 of casualties in Norfolk, pedestrian and cyclist involvements are most frequently happening in the urban 14

15 built-up areas, so their impact is much more concentrated in King s Lynn and Great Yarmouth, and in Norwich The table below replicates the data given in a report to the Norwich City Joint Highways Agency Committee showing how road casualties within the City boundary have changed in the latest annual figures. Reported Road Casualties All KSI Baseline 12 months (average) months months Change from baseline Change from previous year Child (0-15) KSI P2W KSI (motorcyclists) Pedestrian KSI Cyclist KSI Slight Casualties <1% 10.3% 2.8. Current progress and future trends The latest progress towards targeted reductions for the Key Target Groups is shown in Appendix B Overall KSI trends Progress against the target is shown in the graph in Appendix C. The current rolling twelve month KSI figure is 402 to the end of November 2015, which represents a 13% reduction from the baseline figure. This represents a continuation of an upward trend in KSI over the last 3 years and the total number of KSI casualties remains above the interim target of 379 at the end of November Economic factors such as low fuel prices and rising employment could mean that traffic levels will rise over the next period, with the potential for upward pressure on road casualty numbers. At the same time budgets for roads maintenance and improvement are under increasing pressure and this could add to the upward pressure. Continued speed management actions and the effects of new vehicles with improved safety features will help to offset these effects, and targeted measures by Partnership organisations will further address the skills and awareness of road users. 15

16 On this basis it is recommended that in-year targets for the 2016 should aim to maintain the current level of KSI at around 400 per year as in the 2015 calendar year P2W (motorcyclists) The latest P2W KSI figure is 94 which is a reduction of 15% from the baseline. Some further progress could be targeted during 2016, to reduce this to 90 KSI or 22.5% of total KSI, due to the deployment of the police casualty reduction unit with ANPR capabilities Pedestrians and cyclists Pedestrian and Cyclist KSI are currently 112 which is a 19% increase on the baseline. This is comprised of 51 cyclist and 61 pedestrian involvements. The targeted measures developed this year should enable these numbers to come down during It is recommended that a target of 100 KSI or 25% of total KSI is challenging but achievable, despite anticipated growth in active travel. This is likely to be split 15% pedestrians and 10% cyclists Younger drivers (aged years) There are currently 97 KSI where one of the drivers involved was aged This is 29% below the baseline. Since the start of the current monitoring period in January 2011 the trend is generally flat with fluctuations around the level of 100 KSI per annum. However changes to the economic climate could bring further upward pressure to this group. Therefore maintaining a level of 100 KSI or 25% of total KSI numbers is a challenging target for Older Drivers (aged 70 years and over) KSI resulting from a collision involving an older driver are currently 57, which is a 5% reduction on the baseline. An in-year projection of 50 KSI would represent a good outcome for this group, and would help contribute to maintaining overall levels of KSI casualties. Lower fuel prices are likely to present a particular challenge in this group as there can be greater discretionary car use among older people Projections Based on the above comments, the diagram below summarises the projected KSI proportions for Norfolk. These proportions relate to an overall objective to maintain total KSI casualties at a level of 400 per year by the end of

17 KSI Proportions Cyclists, 10% Younger Drivers, 25% Pedestrians, 15% Older Drivers, 13% P2W, 22% Other, 15% Other KSI casualty involvements The diagram above indicates that the Key Target Groups account for 85% of the road users involved in KSI road casualties in Norfolk. However, in addition to the specific interventions for these groups, the Business Plan also includes enforcement and engineering interventions which are directed at reducing casualties generally, and the Fatal 4 messaging is a broadly-based communications strategy which encompasses all road users. 2.9 Slight casualties The graph in Appendix D shows the latest movements in the number of slight injury casualties. These numbers are subject to a significant degree of late reporting so the latest drop in the numbers may be corrected when final results are available. 3. Financial Implications 3.1. All measures are met from Partners existing budgets 4. Issues, risks and innovation 4.1. Current projections of progress under the Business Plan do not indicate that overall KSI will reduce over the period. The Partnership continues to promote evidence-led targeting of resources for Education, Enforcement and 17

18 Engineering interventions, as set out in the Business Plan. 5. Background 5.1. In May 2011 the government issued the Strategic Framework for Road Safety which set out new measures to reduce deaths and injuries on roads. The document set out Measures that we intend to take nationally and areas where the policy and delivery will reflect local priorities and circumstances. At both the national and the local level, safer infrastructure, better and more targeted education that draws upon behavioural science and tougher enforcement for the small minority of motorists who deliberately chose to drive dangerously will all be important. We also see a key role for citizens in improving the performance of their areas by holding local decision makers to account where they feel that further action is needed The annual Business Planning Day for the RCRP was held on 5 December 2014 and included the evidence base for actions for the 4 new sub-groups to focus partnership actions which target road user behaviours which affect the key groups highlighted in Section The analysis of trends and patterns in road casualties has been extended by the publication of Road Casualties in Norfolk: Baseline Evaluation Report 2013 via the Norfolk Insight website. The report can be viewed via this link: Norfolk Insight. This report has been prepared to provide a summary of the data which is currently available to support the work of the RCRP, and the scope for further data-sharing between the partner organisations to improve the targeting of measures The 2013 report also provides a baseline for comparisons with new information as the work of RCRP partner s progresses. A 2014 update to the report has been published to inform business planning during , and can be viewed via this link. Road Casualties in Norfolk 2014 Update Report 5.5. The Casualty Reduction Data Team continues to provide data analysis to support the 4 Sub-groups which lead on the targeted interventions. During 2015 a main focus of this work has been the identification of target profiles based on over-represented categories within the MOSAIC. All results will be published in a new 2015 Annual Report, which also include coparison data from other similar local authorities.
