Lancashire celebrates five years of ‘Making a Difference’

Lancashire County Council’s Road Safety Group last month celebrated five years of its road safety strategy, Together We Can Make the Difference, by unveiling a special logo to mark the occasion.

The strategy – which has the backing of 20,000 pledges from individuals, companies and organisations – has played an important part in raising awareness of road safety issues and helping to reduce road casualties since 1998.

"Together We Can Make the Difference encourages support and action from a wide range of groups and individuals across the county," county councillor Jean Yates explained while unveiling the new logo. "The road safety group has done an excellent job in bringing together people from across the county in support of road safety initiatives."

Neil Cunliffe, road safety group manager, added: "The strategy has brought together over 100 local companies and organisations in a committed bid to reduce the number of road casualties on Lancashire’s roads. Together We Can Make the Difference forms part of the local transport plan and has received fantastic support in its first five years. With this continued support and the backing of further businesses and organisations the strategy will go from strength to strength."
