SCHOOLS and community groups are being urged to apply for funding to make roads safer.
Cumbria’s Police and Crime Commissioner’s property fund has opened to give money to projects aimed at reducing road injuries and deaths.
The Property Fund was set up to put money seized from criminals back into the community to help reduce crime. Mr McCall said: "With the winter months approaching and visibility reducing it is timely that we focus on driving safety and I want to help communities reduce the risks and sad effects of dangerous driving.
“I truly believe that road issues can be reduced through a community response which engages local people and that every one of us can make a difference to making the roads a safer place.
