🎧 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

🧵 Yesterday, the Govt published it's Trailer Safety Report. To say that it raises far more questions than answers is an understatement. Here are just a few of my serious concerns... [1/5] gov.uk/government/pub…

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
