The Road Safety Survey results are in

In the last edition of Our District we promoted the Horsham District Community Safety Partnership’s Road Safety Survey.

We received 526 responses, including details about the location and frequency of road safety issues experienced across the District.

What you told us

• 96% of respondents were concerned about road safety in Horsham District.
• The key issue was excessive speeding, which 82% of respondents had witnessed.
• 67% had witnessed careless driving, such as tailgating or failing to dip headlights.
• 62% had witnessed distracted driving, such as texting while driving or looking at passengers in the rear seat.

What happens next?

Thank you to everyone who completed the survey. The results have been shared with the Horsham District Community Safety  Partnership.

An action group made up of representatives from Sussex Police, West Sussex County Council Highways, West Sussex Fire & Rescue Service and Horsham District Council has now been set up to take forward related actions.
