Road Safety
Clutha District Council believes Clutha roads can be safer for our community.
That is why we are part of the Southern Road Safety Influencing Group (SRSIG), which aims to get our community thinking and talking about road risk and how we can stop people dying on our roads.
To do this we have teamed up with local Police, St John and Fire Emergency New Zealand.
We want to get the Clutha community thinking and talking about what we could do to make a difference on their roads and to recognise that road death is preventable. Change needs to come from our communities because it's our people, our families, friends,and neighbours who are affected by crashes.
A rising road toll isn't just a number, it represents actual lives lost - and any number is too many.
