To ensure continuity of service, the Senior Traffic Commissioner will deploy Traffic Commissioner Tim Blackmore, who is currently serving in the North East Traffic Area, to the West Midlands Traffic Area. Mr Blackmore will continue to provide support in the North East. Recruitment to the vacant North East Traffic Commissioner position will commence shortly.
The Senior Traffic Commissioner has made these deployment decisions to ensure that all traffic areas remain supported by experienced commissioners and that tribunal functions continue to be delivered efficiently.
Senior Traffic Commissioner Kevin Rooney said “I would like to thank Miles for his significant contribution to the traffic commissioner team and his dedicated service to the West Midlands Traffic Area. Throughout his time in office, he has brought considerable experience, sound judgement and a strong commitment to upholding road safety and fair regulation.
I am pleased that Miles will continue to contribute as a Deputy Traffic Commissioner, providing valuable support to colleagues in the West of England.
I am also grateful to Tim Blackmore for his flexibility in taking on deployment to the West Midlands while continuing to support the North East towards its transition to a new full-time Commissioner. These arrangements will ensure that all traffic areas continue to benefit from experienced leadership while we undertake recruitment.”
Traffic Commissioner Miles Dorrington said “It has been a privilege to serve as Traffic Commissioner for the West Midlands. I have worked alongside dedicated colleagues committed to maintaining high standards across the industry and protecting road safety. I look forward to continuing to contribute to this important regulatory function as a Deputy Traffic Commissioner.”
