Sue Cowley
My name is Suz Cowley and I have joined the wonderful Roadsafe Taranaki team as the Road Safety Advisor based in New Plymouth.
My specific focus is on New Plymouth road safety. Some of my role will include speed, restraints, impaired driving, motorcycles, distractions and intersections. I will support Zoe and the NPDC Let’s Go team and I am very keen to be a key supporter of SADD students in our secondary schools.
I was born in New Plymouth and have recently returned to what feels like home. I have been living in South Taranaki for the past 10 years as the Camp Custodian at the Patea Dam at Lake Rotorangi. My new role is a lot different to what I was previously doing but I have a real passion for Road Safety and support Road to Zero as I have 4 beautiful children whom one day will be driving on our roads. So, if I can make a difference in putting the message out, encouraging the changing of people’s behaviours around driving, road safety and making our roads safer then I will be very happy. We all want our whanau to be safe on the roads.
