Highways England and Driving for Better Business are to host a road safety summit at the House of Commons to highlight the benefits of road risk management to public sector fleets.

The event will share vital road safety information for those organisations in the public sector

The event will take place at noon on 22 January 2019 in the Terrace Pavillion in the Commons and will provide a platform for local authority CEOs/heads of paid service, chief constables and chief fire officers to meet and partner with the DfT-backed Driving for Better Business work-related road safety programme.

The summit will feature presentations from:

• Colin Matthews CBE, chairman of Highways England
• Jim O’Sullivan, chief executive of Highways England
• Martin Temple, chairman of the Health and Safety Executive
• Mark Phillips, chief executive of RSSB
• Sheena Ramsey chief executive of Gateshead Council

Roads minister Jesse Norman MP said: “The Highways England Driving for Better Business Programme supports the British Road Safety Statement in raising awareness of the importance of work-related road safety.

“Road safety is not just a matter for government. It is an issue that requires support from the public sector, and that means organisations making sure they are compliant with current legislation.”
