answer text <p>Local traffic authorities such as Coventry are free to make their own decisions about the design of the streets under their care, provided they take account of the relevant legislation. They also have the powers to set local 20 mph speed limits or traffic calming measures in line with their local conditions and requirements, in areas heavily used by bicycles. We continue to seek to make cycling safer. That is why we launched our Cycling and Walking Investment Strategy (CWIS) Safety Review Call for Evidence. This closed on 1 June 2018. Over 13,000 responses were submitted and are being considered. The Department will continue to consider the evidence submitted and issue a response in due course.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) has been engaged in an ongoing process to ensure it has sufficient resource capability to deliver EU exit related work. Staff working in dedicated EU exit roles have principally been deployed from elsewhere in the DVLA or through wider Civil Service recruitment. Some DVLA staff are also working on EU exit related issues as part of their day to day roles, rather than being dedicated solely to EU exit work.</p><p> </p><p>Given the interactions between EU exit work and other priorities, the continuous review of business resourcing needs, and the adaptation of existing jobs, it is not possible to provide an estimate of the number of extra DVLA staff recruited to deal with EU exit related work.</p> more like this
