RESIDENTS in Little Hulton, Kearsley and Walkden can find out how their council has been performing in helping to prevent road accidents.
A newly-published review looks at how well Salford Council has done at achieving nationally set targets for 2000/01.
It reveals that the city had 40 casualties in motorcycle accidents, compared with a target of 25 -- putting it bottom in that category in a 10-council league in Greater Manchester.
But the council did perform well in other categories, such as car accident figures, where casualties per 100,000 dropped from 520 to 438 in a year, exceeding the target of 489.
The number of cyclists killed had also dropped significantly, putting the council joint second out of the 10 authorities.
The review also praised the excellent levels of public satisfaction with the planning service, and looked at how well roads and street lights had been maintained, setting new targets which should be met by the end of 2005.
