Sue Farrant and local campaigners fight for safer roads
Dorset has one of the highest road casualty rates in Britain.
Liberal Democrats say that Dorset County Council must take road safety much more seriously. Dr Sue Farrant and local campaigners are demanding that the public should be consulted on steps like putting back the white lines on the Bridport to Weymouth coast road, introducing more pedestrian crossings and traffic calming and 20 mph limits in residential areas.
The Liberal Democrats say that local people with worries about safety and traffic speed should be asked what they think should be done to make their roads safer.
“The Conservatives must listen to local people as they know best how to cut the terrible accident rate. It’s no good thinking that one solution will fit everywhere, we need different solutions for different places”, said Dr Sue Farrant.
