Working hard to save lives on devon & Cornwall's roads
What is Vision Zero South West?
Vision Zero South West is a partnership involving many organisations in Devon and Cornwall who share one goal – to eliminate death and serious injury from our roads.
Led by a diverse board of experts — including senior police and fire officers, leading clinicians, councillors, and the Police and Crime Commissioner — the board meets quarterly to discuss strategies and projects aimed at reducing serious collisions.

Who Is Most At Risk?
The UK has some of the world’s safest roads, but we believe any death or serious injury is one too many. Through research and analysis, Vision Zero South West has identified the road users who are most at-risk.

📢 🎉 Today we’re launching our Road Injury & Post-Collision Care Priority Setting Partnership (PSP) Report: lnkd.in/eBaRuDCc
Road injury remains a leading cause of death and disability – but the questions that matter most haven’t always been clearly defined.
This report sets out a Top Ten research agenda, shaped by people with lived experience, clinicians, emergency services and researchers, to focus attention on where change is most needed and where it can make the biggest difference.
It’s a really important step towards more coordinated research, better-informed investment, and ultimately improved outcomes for patients after road traffic collisions.
🙏 Thank you to everyone who helped shape this work and our funders, Vision Zero South West and Transport Scotland.

Impact – The Centre for Post-Collision Research, Innovation and Translation
Join us for a fun-filled day to provide local children with a taster session at the BMX track.
There will be registered coaches who will be able to provide instruction and encouragement.
If any children do not have a bike and helmet, there will be some for them to use.
We will also be hoping to obtain enough interest from the local community to be able to start up a BMX club.
It will also be a chance to advertise what the Partnership and People's Parkfield CIC are doing for the community.
There will also be a Youth Cafe, Inflatables, a Skate Jam, Smoothie Bike and Music.
Organisations who will be represented are Reach Outdoors who will be running their own coaching sessions, the Brownes, Active Devon, Cycle, Sound Communities, Cycle Torbay, Friend of Parkfield House as well as Preston Community Partnership and People's Parkfield CIC.
