Fantastic to hear from Driver & Vehicle Standards Agency, NaVCIS and Approved Workshop Scheme during the second half of the inaugural Trailer and Towing Safety APPG meeting. Lots of things to take forward into the work of this brand new All-Party Parliamentary Group ⬇️ #TrailerSafety


🎧 LISTEN: Last week, I launched our new Trailer & Towing Safety All-Party Parliamentary Group. Through cross-party working and the progress we have already made to improve #TrailerSafety, I hope we will be able to prevent further tragedies on our roads. BBC Radio Bristol | Trailer & Towing Safety APPG

🎧 LISTEN: The importance of #TrailerSafety on our roads cannot be understated: even so-called "lighter" trailers can be as heavy as small cars. The new APPG on Towing and Trailer Safety I launched last week will work to make our roads safer. BBC Radio Bristol | Trailer & Towing Safety APPG



Great to see Department for Transport Minister Michael Ellis recognising my campaign with the Hussey family for improved trailer safety. The govt report released yesterday is an important milestone in our 4-year campaign & follows the launch of my Trailer & Towing Safety APPG. gov.uk/government/spe…



A very positive turnout for our first virtual APPG @Trailer APPG. Reports on Equine Transport Safety & Survey The British Horse Society, DfT update on Trailer Safety Report & Project Edward @HighwaysEngland. Thanks to Karin Smyth for chairing and all stakeholders and officers in attendance.

Roads policing call for evidence issued Department for Transport & Home Office. Review to look at how the capability and capacity of enforcement services can be enhanced to improve safety, reduce future casualties on roads and influence road user behaviour. assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/upl…




Trailer & Towing Safety APPG echoes Karin Smyth thoughts. Important agencies work together to cut road deaths. Today's focus on towing for work, with lots of resources to help businesses at projectedward.org

Trailer & Towing Safety APPG meets today to discuss DfT updates on trailer safety, roadside safety checks and towing for business. Hot topic summer safety #towsafe4freddie

Trailer & Towing Safety APPG delighted to welcome the 2021 officers and members @karinsymth Jason McCartney Sharon Hodgson Sir Roger Gale Richard Fuller MP Lord Bassam of Brighton, Nigel Mills MP. Looking forward to working with you and stakeholders on the safety critical issues for the Group.



I will continue to work closely with colleagues on the APPG for Trailer & Towing Safety to ensure the Government sees the error of its ways. We cannot allow road safety to come 2nd to a minister's desire to cut the laws that protect us. [5/5] trailerappg.org.uk Trailer & Towing Safety APPG
