As a leader committed to the safety and wellbeing of everyone in my region, today, I have pledged to prioritise road safety through comprehensive and collaborative efforts.
“Recognising that road safety is a shared responsibility, I am committed to engaging with local communities to understand their road safety concerns and work together to address them.
