Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how many deaths of cyclists on roads there were in (a) St Helens North constituency, (b) Merseyside, (c) the North West and (d) the UK in each of the last five years.
The table below provides the number of cyclists killed in road traffic accidents on public roads in a) St Helens North, b) Merseyside, c) the North West of England and d) Great Britain.
St Helens North | Merseyside | North West | Great Britain | |
2011 | 0 | 0 | 13 | 107 |
2012 | 0 | 4 | 10 | 118 |
2013 | 0 | 1 | 9 | 109 |
2014 | 0 | 2 | 13 | 113 |
2015 | 0 | 3 | 7 | 100 |
The Department does not hold data for Northern Ireland, therefore the table includes statistics for Great Britain rather than the United Kingdom.
These statistics come from police reported data on personal injury accidents on the public highway. The Department does not collect information about accidents that were on private roads, car parks or off-road.
