Mrs Anderson gave the Committee an update on the activities undertaken by the RoadSafe team since the last meeting and advised that a significant amount of activities had occurred over this time. She also outlined some of the projects which had taken place and these included the following: · Promotion of “Soba-D” during the Rugby World Cup timeframe – this had been very successful and positive feedback had been received; · The implementation of billboards with road safety messages pertaining to Loss of Control had been erected from Central Hawke’s Bay through to Wairoa · “Another Saturday Night” update which includes the development of a website, the production of a DVD and the production of a children’s book based on child restraints; · A further motorcycle safety day is planned for 20 November with a road ride on 11 December. These events had proved very successful in the past and further events were planned for the summer season. Mrs Anderson advised she had visited Wairoa recently and had discussions with stakeholders. She hoped the current RoadSafe vacancy in Wairoa could be filled in early 2012. Mrs Gilbertson advised that once funding was available, it was hopeful that a part time person could be employed, probably on a short term contract. Mrs Gilbertson acknowledged Mrs Anderson’s ongoing contribution to the RoadSafe regional activities. |
