Richard Turfitt to be new senior traffic commissioner24 April 2017
Richard Turfitt will be the new senior traffic commissioner, taking over from Beverley Bell on 1 June 2017.
Turfitt (pictured) has been traffic commissioner for the East of England since 2008 and worked as a government prosecutor for more than a decade. He is also a serving Justice of the Peace.
The announcement was made last week (20 April) by transport minister John Hayes, who said: “I’m delighted that Richard will be the new senior traffic commissioner... His knowledge and vast experience means he is well-placed to regulate services appropriately, and I wish him all the best in this important role.”
Turfitt said: “There is no doubt that I have a hard act to follow and I want to thank Beverley for her work as senior traffic commissioner over the last five years.
“We have a strong, dedicated team of traffic commissioners and I look forward to continuing that work with them, to support responsible, compliant operators and drivers and focus our scrutiny on those who pose serious risks to safety standards.”
