Mr McReynolds has said: “We have seen 48 people lose their lives on our roads so far just this year, and every death is a tragic loss.

 

“It’s an honour to have been elected Chair of the newly-established All Party Group on Road Safety, and I intend to do everything within my remit to help reduce these heartbreaking, overwhelmingly preventable tragedies.

 

“I’m particularly pleased to have Davy Jackson of Road Safe NI on board to help us achieve that.

 

“It’s my hope that the group will complement the work of the Department for Infrastructure. That it will bring together voices from every sector, enhance the safety of our roads by establishing existing gaps in road safety provision, and draw attention to where we can work more collaboratively across Executive departments to reduce road traffic collisions.

 

“We have a responsibility as elected representatives to keep road safety constantly on the agenda, and I am fully committed to using my role as Chair to facilitate those crucial discussions.

 

“No matter how you use the road, you deserve to be safe in the knowledge that every measure has been taken to ensure your safety.”
