The charity is compiling a dossier of dangerous roads
Concerned parents must "name and shame" roads near schools and in residential areas where they believe children are at risk, a charity has urged.

The road safety charity, Brake, is planning to compile a dossier of dangerous roads in Northern Ireland to deliver to Downing Street.

Road safety campaigner Gerry Lee said he was unhappy with the way statistics on dangerous roads were calculated.

"Statistics are collated on death and serious injury only," he said.

"It takes no account of the many accidents that occur that fall very much short of those type of definitions."

Mr Lee said it was "important that people feel they are able to make a difference".
