Brother of busway victim welcomes council's new safety approach

Rob Moir, brother of a cyclist who died on the guided busway, welcomed a "new attitude" from Cambridgeshire County Council after it admitted to health and safety breaches. The council is awaiting sentencing after being prosecuted by the Health and Safety Executive. Three people died in accidents on the busway between 2015 and 2021. Council chief executive Stephen Moir apologized, stating the council "fell far short" of safety standards. A judge will decide on the council's fine in a future hearing. The council's legal team argued that any fine would impact vulnerable community members. They noted that new management and systems are now in place to improve safety on the busway.
