I am a former councillor and have been a public representative for many years. We deal with this issue on a daily basis. People in residential areas approach me to say they want speed limits reduced. I go back to the council and interact with it. I have been dealing with this for years and I understand it. The question is: what will work? I always look at things in the round. I would like my child to wear a high-visibility jacket because it is better than not wearing one. I take the point about education certainly around users of cars and vehicles. What model actually works, is practical and gets us to the same endpoint? I would like Mr. Rowland to do housekeeping on this. Is the working group the RSA recommended in the strategy up and running at this stage?
