Oxfordshire’s road safety team has successfully used the Road Safety Time Bank to help with two areas of concern highlighted in a DfT health check.
Young drivers (18-25 years) and motorcyclists were high in casualty statistics and Mandy Rigault, senior RSO, put out a request for information on what other road safety teams were doing.
She said: “More than 30 authorities have contacted me, which is a fantastic response. People have been very generous in sharing their time and experience, and in some cases their materials, and I have invitations to go and see programmes running all over the UK.
“Sharing experience like this is incredibly helpful. I have learned something from each person I’ve talked to, both ‘dos and don’ts’. None of this would have been possible – at least not without a huge number of phone calls or e-mails – without the Time Bank.
“I’d like to take this opportunity to thank all my Time Bank colleagues for the information and sense of community this has engendered.”
