The June 2025 promise sought an explanation of low Motor Vehicle Act enforcement numbers. On October 27 police described recent impaired-driving checks, more planned enforcement and highest-offence file scoring. Those are relevant operational updates, but the discussion was not identified as the promised 2025 follow-up report.

The original commitment ties traffic calming to work after paving. The October 20 capital presentation describes continued Plateau paving proposed for 2027 and 2028. It does not establish delivery of the specific traffic-calming measures.

What remains

Locate the 2027 operating decision, the traffic-calming design and an implementation timetable. Continuing paving alone does not satisfy the safety commitment.
