Dear Rowena Sampson,

Thank you for your reply.

The Police Commissioner is reported to have made statements about the dangers presented by some of these specific issues. However you state that Office of the Cambridgeshire Police and Crime Commissioner does not hold this information.

I realise from what you say that the Cambridgeshire Constabulary will have this information. However, could I rephase the question to ask what information the Cambridgeshire Police and Crime Commissioner does hold on road safety accident statistics relating to accidents caused by cyclists and by motor vehicles?

Yours sincerely,

Paul Hollinghurst
