Working with Just Eat to improve safety on the city’s roads

We’ve been working with a group of delivery drivers in the city to talk about how we can make the city’s roads safer.

Our Highways and Community Safety teams carried out an engagement day with Just Eat delivery drivers at their hub in Hove last week, along with Sussex Safer Roads Partnership (SSRP).

There they talked with drivers about some of the issues raised by local residents, road safety and the concerns delivery drivers also had when out and about.

They were also shown videos about exploitation and SSRP officers spoke with them about safe and legal riding.

Councillor Steve Davis, Co-Chair of the council’s Environment, Transport and Sustainability committee also attended the engagement day.

Councillor Davis said: “I’d like to thank Just Eat for welcoming us to their hub so that we could talk about safety on our roads.

“We had a great day talking to drivers about their work, the challenges of moving around a busy city and I was also able to share some of the concerns of local residents.

“Sustainable deliveries are a really important part of the Brighton & Hove’s economy so it’s important we work together to make sure safety is a priority for everyone.
