Ipswich residents pledge to keep road safe for Fatality Free Friday

Members of the Ipswich Community attended Department of Transport and Main Road making a pledge to keep safe on the road, for Fatality Free Friday.  A National Road Safety Campaign to promote zero deaths on Australian roads for just one day.
To date over 221,000 road safety pledges have been signed in response.

Focusing on the Fatal Five: Speeding, Drink and Drug Driving, Seatbelts, Fatigue and Distraction, the Fatality Free Friday inflatable vehicle  received well over 50 signatures  in support of the campaign this morning, with some residents writing on their pledges, making a commitment and providing them to police.
They pledged to always be fit to drive, stay focused and scan the road ahead, keep a safe distance and drive to suit the conditions, removing all distractions.

Our state’s inspiring volunteers were honoured at the 2018 Queensland Volunteer Awards at Ipswich City Hall today.
The awards were hosted by Volunteering Queensland and announced by His Excellency the Honourable Paul de Jersey AC, Governor of Queensland.
Congratulations and thank you to each and every volunteer nominee and to all the Volunteer Award winners across all categories.
The morning’s proceedings were nothing less than inspiring. To think of the hours of dedicated service and what that would translate into a financial amount is amazing.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank our Volunteers in Policing for the Ipswich Police District who were nominated for the Volunteering Impact Award for their time and achievements across the Ipswich Police District.
