Lewisham and Merton local highway authorities and their partners will share the first award of a new £4 million road safety grant, Dr Stephen Ladyman, Road Safety Minister, announced today. Lewisham will receive £179,000 for young drivers volunteer training and Merton receives £70,500 for child pedestrian training including community projects on safer mobility. The Road Safety Partnership Grant Scheme will provide funding to local highway authorities that are taking an innovative and collaborative approach to improving road safety.

Dr Ladyman said:

"Road safety is an area where local projects can, and do, work extremely well and I am committed to encouraging communities to try and improve their road safety records. This new grant is designed to bring together a range of partners to develop innovative local schemes for that very reason.

"These schemes intend to tackle a range of issues - from seat belt use to improving the safety of child pedestrians; from tackling motorcycle safety to working with young drivers or those that drive for work. All of which are areas that we are concentrating on nationally, as laid out in our second Three Year Review of Road Safety."
