A new traffic commissioner has been appointed for the North West traffic area following the retirement of Gerallt Evans.
David Mullan comes to the role from within the department of infrastructure in Northern Ireland.
The office of the TC said that since January 2023, he has been responsible for policy in respect of driver licensing, motor insurance and for the delivery of the road safety strategy for Northern Ireland.
