Rob Flello MP, Chair of the Parliamentary Freight Transport Group, will be at the launch of the Isle of Wight Festival of Cycling on Saturday 14th September with the Road Haulage Association talking with cyclists about how our roads can be made safer for all users.

Since 2005, 26 cyclists in Stoke-on-Trent and 37 on the Isle of Wight have been killed or seriously injured on the roads. In 2012 alone, 118 cyclists were killed on the roads of Great Britain, 27% of these fatalities involved a van or heavy goods vehicle. The best way to cut this terrible death toll is to promote understanding and dialogue between cyclists and drivers.

Rob said: “I am really pleased to be at the opening of this two week-long festival which celebrates all aspects of cycling, where I will have the opportunity to discuss road safety issues with cyclists. The death and injury toll of a quarter involving goods vehicles must be a priority.”

The relationship between cyclists and commercial users is currently poor; because of this organisations, such as the Road Haulage Association, are going out to events such as the Isle of Wight cycling festival in order to promote dialogue between the two groups.

Rob continued: “I hope that by coming together cyclists and hauliers will be able to find solutions which will make the roads safer for every user. I am calling on the industry to examine its work practices and vehicle safety features with cyclist safety in mind”.
