Overview

Birmingham City Council is undertaking a Scrutiny Inquiry to understand how the Council can deliver better road safety outcomes while also meeting its budget challenges and moving towards financial recovery. They are particularly interested in hearing from resident groups and community organisations about their experiences of road safety, reporting these issues and enforcement in their local neighbourhoods.

What is a Scrutiny Inquiry?

A Scrutiny Inquiry is when Councillors come together to consider a topic in more detail and make recommendations to Council. These recommendations are designed to improve the way the Council delivers its services.

Councillors in the Sustainability and Transport Overview and Scrutiny Committee consider Road Safety as a priority and have decided to carry out an in-depth Inquiry. The Inquiry is chaired by Councillor David Barker. It is important that this Inquiry hears information from different groups so it can make recommendations which will make a difference. The Inquiry intends to receive information from different Council services, other Local Authorities and other organisations including West Midlands Police.

Road Safety

The Inquiry is particularly interested to hear about dangerous driving and parking. However, there is the opportunity to provide information on other issues.
