No change in cycling casualties over 10 years in Northern Ireland called “shameful” by Cycling UK and should be “wake-up call” for decision makers

'These latest figures should be a wake-up call to our decision-makers... Every life needlessly lost or damaged is a profound tragedy” Cycling UK slams Northern Ireland's lack of effort as cycling casualties remain unchanged in the last 10 years cycling

Cycling UK has slammed the Stormont’s “lack of movement in reducing cyclist casualties in 10 years” as “shameful”, after latest figures published by the Northern Ireland Government showed the number of people killed or seriously injured while cycling had barely changed.

> Sinn Féin minister “neglecting Northern Ireland’s future” and “locking us all into a fossil-fuelled dark age”, says Cycling UK Duncan Dollimore, Cycling UK’s head of campaigns, said: “Ten years ago Stormont set a worthy ambition of reducing deaths on our roads, so it’s shameful to see nothing has changed over that period.

“These latest figures should be a wake-up call to our decision-makers to take action and bring in the much-needed updates to the Highway Code. Every life needlessly lost or damaged is a profound tragedy and this update is vital to combat that trend.”
