The coroner's concerns

1. lack of coordinated information sharing
“insufficient system for the collation and sharing of information to assure that each of the authorities was aware of potentially important incidents”
2. exclusion of minor incidents from sharing
“system did not apparently require 'damage only' incidents to be shared”
3. unreported injuries to road users
“had suffered unpleasant injuries including a fractures to his lower back”
4. inadequate risk assessment of location
“risk assessment of this location was also of concern”

Stated action · 30th June 2017
