Motion detail
Caroline Russell AM proposed, and Elly Baker AM seconded the following motion:
“This Assembly notes that sadly 3,961 people were killed or seriously injured on London’s roads in 2022. The interim Vision Zero target for 2022, set by the Mayor in 2018 was that there should be a 65 per cent reduction in deaths and serious injuries on London’s roads, but to date the reduction has been 38 per cent.
This Assembly notes the scale of the challenge to reach the Mayor’s interim 2022 Vision Zero Target.
This Assembly stands with all victims of road traffic collisions and their families, supports all efforts to reduce the danger on London’s roads, and welcomes the Mayor’s recent announcement of a one year pilot scheme to support the victims of the most serious road collisions.
This Assembly calls on the Mayor, the whole GLA group, councils in London, the police and the Government to work together to reduce road danger, and bring down the toll of death and serious injury on our streets to help achieve Vision Zero.
This Assembly calls on the Mayor to give an update to Londoners on how Vision Zero will now be reached, and any further interim targets.”
Following debate and upon being put to the vote, the motion in the name of Caroline Russell AM, was agreed unanimously.
