Agenda item

The Sub-Committee received a joint report of the Director of Built Environment and the Commissioner of the City of London Police outlining the road danger reduction plan for 2016/17. In response to a query by Members, Officers reported that the updated Commercial Vehicle unit statistics were as below:

Vehicles stopped: 1313

Offences: 1533

Summons: 692

Fixed Penalty Notices: £61, 400

Vehicles Prohibited: 295

It was further reported that the number of lorries found to be in breach of the safer lorry scheme had fallen dramatically (from 32 in the first month of the scheme, to 17 over the following 6 months); it was felt this was a sign that the legislation was effective.

Members encouraged greater “joint working “between the Department for Built Environment and the City of London police on the issue of the location of traffic stops.
