The safety of the public

The safety of the public in the communities we serve is of prime importance to us.

In 2008/09, 52 members of the public were injured as a result of our activities compared with 36 in 2007/08 and 28 in 2006/07, predominantly as a result of road traffic collisions and trips and falls around our street works. Sadly, 1 member of the public died in the US resulting from a road traffic accident.

Data prior to 2008/09 does not include KeySpan, so is not directly comparable.
