The Driving Standards Agency (DSA) and the VehIcle and Operator Services Agency (VOSA) are to merge into a single agency, thus bringing together government testing and standards services.
Alastair Peoples, VOSA chief executive becomes joint chief executive for the two agencies and will oversee merger strategy.
A result of the merger is that DSA chief executive Rosemary Thew will leave the agency on 30 June. “I’ve been considering moving on for some time for private and personal reasons,” she said in a statement. “The creation of a single agency seems the right time for me to do so.”
Thew became notorious for making life difficult for the world of motorcycling by reducing the number of riding test centres and needlessly creating new centres at vast public expense.
