Westmorland & Furness Council, formally South Lakeland, prioritises vehicle safety

Westmorland & Furness Council, formally known as South Lakeland District Council, has prioritised vehicle safety across its fleet by equipping its refuse collection vehicles with camera systems and Cyclear™ from Fleetclear.

Protecting crews and the public across a rural and urban fleet

David Thwaites, Transport Supervisor, Westmorland & Furness Council said:

“We’ve always taken vehicle safety very seriously. The camera systems give us confidence that if anything happens on the road, we have the evidence to deal with it quickly and fairly. Cyclear gives our drivers extra reassurance when navigating busy areas.”

The council’s fleet operates across a mix of urban and rural environments, making visibility and safety equipment particularly important. Fleetclear’s solutions have been part of the council’s standard vehicle specification for new vehicles.

David added:

“The support from Fleetclear has been excellent. Any issues are resolved quickly and the team are always on hand to help.”
