Executive Summary

After the success of the Project EDWARD Surround a Town Event in Ely, 2021, the Vision Zero Partnership is running a series of events between May 2022 and November 2022. It was suggested that the partnership should aim for a minimum of six events per year (one in each district across Cambridgeshire and Peterborough) with at least two of these on a large scale, as was the case for Project EDWARD.

The events include a concentrated, visible enforcement presence in and around the city, combined with engagement and information activities in high populated areas, child car seat and tyre checks, and education activity in local schools. 

In total, approximately 30 staff and volunteers were involved in running the Peterborough event on the day.

Outcomes from the day showed success, both in raising the profile of the partnership – with 600 local school pupils engaged – and in road safety outcomes – with 17.5 hours of visible speed enforcement resulting in 141 offences.
