Stats 19 road accidents

The request was successful.

Dear Hampshire Constabulary,

Dr Julian Lewis, MP for the New Forest East recently asked the following parliamentary question:

Dr Julian Lewis: Speeding cyclists on rural roads in the New Forest are putting residents and other pedestrians at risk, simply because they cannot be bothered to fit a bell on their bikes so that they can warn pedestrians of their approach. When I wrote to a Transport Minister about this issue 18 months ago, he replied:
“Through rule 66 of the Highway code we recommend that a bell is fitted to a bicycle and used as necessary. Under current regulations the cyclist is not compelled to keep the bell fitted after the bicycle has been purchased. We have no plans to make bells compulsory as this would be difficult to enforce.”
May we have a statement from the Government about that rather insipid reply, so that my constituents, such as Margaret Verdon JP, can go about their business without fear of being mown down by silent road cyclists?

I would therefore like to request, from your Stats 19 reporting data, the following information for each of the past five years:

1) number of reported collisions, by severity of injury, involving motor vehicle/pedestrian RTA, within the New Forest area
2) number of reported collisions, by severity of injury, involving motor vehicle/cyclist RTA, within the New Forest area
3) number of reported collisions, by severity of injury, involving cyclist/pedestrian RTA, within the New Forest area

Yours faithfully

Kieran Foster

Yours faithfully,
