A couple of weeks ago I was very concerned to read a report in The Scotsman which said that Dundee's children had the worst risk of being injured on the city's roads of children in any Scottish local authority area. This was contained in a report written by a company called Road Safety Analysis. After seeing this report I contacted the City Council's Transportation section and asked for their views on this.
I am pleased to say (although there is no room for complacency) that the council believes that it has made significant progress over the years in this regard and that between 1994-98 and 2008 there has been a 73% reduction in the number of children killed or seriously injured on the city's roads. One child injured or killed is one too many but I am glad to see that the trend is going in the right direction. A report will be presented to the October meeting of the City Development Committee to update on progress over the last year I will be studying that report in detail.
