RESOLVED: That the advice of the Advisory Panel be accepted and endorsed.
REASON: The council has a target to achieve a 45% reduction in killed and serious injury casualties by 2010. The proposal should contribute towards this casualty reduction target and will help to ensure that the council is successful in securing the road safety grant funding source until 2010/11.

Minutes:
Members considered a report which updated them that from 2007/08 national safety camera funding had been integrated into the Second Local Transport Plan (LTP2) funding system. The report set out a proposal for spending the additional road safety funding in the 2007/08 financial year.
Members gave their support for education for young drivers, and the importance of finding ways of targeting and continuing to work with young drivers.
