Public meeting to hold police to account on road safety in North Yorkshire
The online meeting, hosted by Jo Coles, Deputy Mayor for Policing, Fire and Crime, will take place on Tuesday, July 15, at 2pm and will focus on prevention and enforcement.
It is part of North Yorkshire's first Road Safety Month and will include a presentation from the York and North Yorkshire Road Safety Partnership.
Ms Coles said: "Online public meetings are invaluable in ensuring the police and fire services are held to account in an open and transparent way.
"Road Safety Month is an opportunity for the Mayor David Skaith and I to hear from stakeholders and the public about how we can increase safety on our roads for all road users because one death on our roads is one death too many.
"Anyone with questions or concerns can submit them via the link or tune in to watch the meeting online.
"I will continue to do everything I can to keep everyone in our region safe."
The meeting will conclude with a live question-and-answer session, where Ms Coles will put residents' questions to North Yorkshire Police.
While the focus is on road safety, questions on any aspect of policing or crime are welcomed and can be submitted through the North Yorkshire Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner's website.
The online public meetings are designed to hold police and fire services accountable for delivering the Mayor's Police and Crime Plan and Fire and Rescue Plan.
These plans are shaped by public consultation and aim to achieve positive outcomes for communities across the region.
To date, Ms Coles has met with dozens of parish councils across the region as part of dedicated Road Safety Advice Surgeries.
She is also meeting with the York and North Yorkshire Road Safety Partnership at the Great Yorkshire Show.
The meeting will be broadcast live on YouTube and via the North Yorkshire Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner's website.

Prince William and Harry's Cousin Dies at 20 Years Old
Rosie Roche, a cousin of Princes William and Harry, is dead at age 20. In an obituary printed in the Yorkshire Post on Saturday, Roche's family confirmed her passing. "Darling daughter of Hugh and Pippa, incredible sister to Archie and Agatha, Granddaughter to Derek and Rae Long," Roche's obituary reads. "Private family funeral. A memorial service will be held at a later date." Roche, who was also the granddaughter of Princess Diana's uncle Edmund Roche, was found by her mother and sister on July 14. She was reportedly preparing for a trip with her friends. Rosie was pursuing a degree in English Literature at Durham University. A spokeswoman told The Sun that she "will be sorely missed." Coroner Grant Davies said police "have deemed the death as non-suspicious and there was no third-party involvement." Another cousin of Princes William and Harry passed away last February under similar circumstances. Thomas Kingston, husband of Lady Gabriella Kingston, died from a head injury with a firearm located nearby. It was later determined that he had taken his own life. Lady Gabriella is a second cousin of King Charles III, therefore relating her to William and Harry. Before Thomas married Gabriella in 2019, he had also dated William's wife, Kate Middleton, Princess of Wales. Read the original article on InStyle
