| Tameside Suicide Prevention Strategy Consultation | Tameside Council | In Tameside, we lost 25 people to suicide in 2022, 12 people in 2021, 13 people in 2020, 17 people in 2019 and 19 people in 2018. When someone dies by suicide, the impact amongst family and friends can be devastating and widespread, affecting many people throughout the local community. There are many actions we can take as individuals and communities to help prevent people getting to the point where they contemplate taking their own life. This strategy seeks to address the ways professionals and the public can work together to grow the protective factors and support surrounding people experiencing adversity. Our collective impact is to ensure that nobody in Tameside sees suicide as their best or only option. | 18/07/2024 | 11/08/2024 |
| Moving Traffic Contraventions Survey | Tameside Council | We need your feedback to create a safer, cleaner, and better-connected transport network. We plan to apply for a designation order from the Secretary of State, enabling the council to enforce moving traffic contraventions, which are currently managed by the police. Enforcement of these offences, which include banned turns, yellow box junctions, and 'No Entry' signs, would improve road safety and air quality, and would allow the issuing of fines if drivers chose to contravene the signage. The public consultation survey is open on Monday 15 July and runs until Friday 27 September 2024. Your feedback will help address issues and consider future enforcement sites so please get involved. | 15/07/2024 | 27/09/2024 |
