Road Safety Partnership Grant: Round One, 2007-9 Schemes Summary Report

The Road Safety Partnership Grant (RSPG) scheme was launched in October 2006 to supplement the specific Road Safety Grant, which supports some core road safety activities, and which was introduced in 2007.

However, additionally, the RSPG was introduced to promote:
• Partnership working among local authorities and others (internally including the education sector and youth service, other public-sector organisations, including the health sector, the fire and rescue service and the police, and the voluntary sector); • The take-up and sharing of good practice in the road safety arena;
• Innovative approaches and ways of working to address road safety issues;
• And mainstreaming the most effective lessons learned from recent road
safety pilot projects.

A total of 27 schemes in 25 local authorities were approved for delivering projects between 2007 and 2009, and they received a total of £4.6 million for RSPG Round 1.

This summary note supports the headline report published in July 2009 and provides updated delivery results against the projects.
