The Chair of the BTPA Millie Banerjee addressed an audience from the rail community today making a number of steadfast commitments to deliver the best possible policing on Great Britain’s railways by closer, more collaborative working.
At an annual conference attended by senior representatives from passenger interest groups as well as train and freight operating companies Millie made a series of pledges that were welcomed by the attendees.
Speaking to the group Millie said:
“Today the Authority is making a number of commitments. We want to achieve greater transparency around the budgeting and planning process – ensuring we’ve heard your views. We want to ensure that we’re taking account of local priorities and requirements as well as providing feedback about how we have used your input. And we will formalise, in writing, how we can best ensure that we have productive meetings with you to plan the periods ahead.
“This is all in a bid to continue on the successful path of ‘shaping progress together’, but that means we need you to work proactively with us.”
Guests also heard from the Chief Constable of the BTP Paul Crowther and the Rail Delivery Group, the body that represents the interests of the rail industry.
The Authority will now write to all of its stakeholders as to how- together – improvements to policing Great Britain’s railways can be made by taking a collective proactive approach.
More information from the event will be available soon.
