Brent Council has a long and successful track record of reducing accidents in Brent’s roads. Recent analysis has shown that HGVs are involved in a significant proportion of cyclist and pedestrian accidents and this report seeks approval to implement a London wide, minimum standard of safety features on all HGVs over 3.5 tonnes.
Decision:
RESOLVED:
(i) that the principle of creating a new pan-London traffic order requiring minimum safety features for all HGVs over 3.5 tonnes be agreed;
(ii) that authority be delegated to London Council’s Transport and Environment Committee to exercise the functions set out in paragraph 3.13 of the report submitted.
