Events and community concerns
The team organise a number of community events on specific themes.
The road safety team work in partnership with other agencies and provide support by being present at a number of organised community events. We work together as part of the Lancashire Road Safety Partnership address to community concerns that are of a road safety nature.
Car seat safety events 2025
Following the success of the community car seat safety events held in 2024, and Spring 2025 LCC has commissioned a further 10 events to be held across the county.
These free, community events took place at a variety of supermarkets in specifically targeted areas and aimed to educate parents/carers, grandparents and anyone who drives with children in their vehicle on how to correctly fit a child car seat to their vehicle.
Many of the mistakes people make surrounding child car seats are simple and easy to avoid, including seats belts needing tightening, harnesses not being in the right position and incorrect head restraints – simple.. yet potentially life saving. Pop along for free advice and an independent check.
Child Seat Safety have been commissioned by the road safety team to provide checking events across Lancashire August-September 2025. Contact the road safety team for more information.
