Tell us about your near miss
Have you had a near miss when you’re out cycling or walking? If you have we want to know about it. In an effort to improve road safety in our region, residents are asked to record any crashes or narrow escapes on the official Bike/Walk Crash or Near Miss Report Form on the Marlborough District Council website.
Council Road Safety Coordinator Robyn Blackburn says we want people to use active transport to get to school but they need to feel safe doing so.
Tell us about your ‘near miss’ at www.marlborough.govt.nz and search for 'Near Miss'.
