Speaking at the event, Station Commander Doherty said: “This was a great opportunity to acknowledge the volunteers who assisted to helping to promote the road safety message across the North West.

“I am delighted to welcome representatives from local Funeral Directors in the area, as well as actor Bill Waters and to recognise their vital contribution.

“Road safety requires the efforts of many partner agencies, but it is often those organisations and individuals whose selfless acts who play just as an important part. This event is to say thank you for their contribution to road safety in the North West.”
