Coroner raises concerns over risk-based approach

摘要

A coroner has warned that 'risk-based' pothole repair policies under the new code of practice could 'increase the risk of future deaths'. Coroner Peter Sigee raised his concerns with Bury Council in a Regulation 28 Report following the death of cyclist Roger Hamer in 2016. The inquest jury found that Mr Hamer's death had probably been caused by a fall after hitting a pothole.
