The long awaited updated road safety strategy has been finally released https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/road-safety-strategy

Comments in the press release https://www.gov.uk/government/news/thousands-of-lives-to-be-saved-under-bold-new-road-safety-strategy are mainly from motoring organisations, which gives an indication of the main area of interest, nothing seen yet from cycling sources.

The responses are now appearing. A couple of what people might think of as "hard line views"
https://bsky.app/profile/carolinerussell.bsky.social/post/3mbt5es7tqc24 from a London Assembly member
https://bsky.app/profile/ianwalker.bsky.social/post/3mbtvcm6q522a from the motornormativity guru

and from Cycling UK https://www.cyclinguk.org/news/our-response-governments-road-safety-strategy, a more considered answer

Although we are planning ahead, we don't know what the future will bring here in the Coffee Shop. We have domains "firstgreatwestern.info" for w-a-y back and also "greatwesternrailway.info"; we can also answer to "greatbritishrailways.info" too. For the future, information about Great Brisish Railways, by customers and for customers.
