To coincide with national Road Safety Week (17th - 23rd November), newly-published figures by the Council show that a total of 13 people were killed on our roads in 2023, with 493 people seriously injured and a further 1,887 people suffering slight injuries.
Whilst Leeds' latest figures are bucking regional and national trends, they remain higher than pre-pandemic levels. It is hoped that by bringing a stark focus to the previous year’s tragic statistics will encourage everyone to pay extra attention to theirs and others’safety when using the city’s roads, and in some cases to change their behaviour before setting out on their journeys.
