Camera partnership campaign wins Prince Michael Award

A radio campaign warning motorists in the northeast about the cost of road crashes picked up a Prince Michael Road Safety Award last month.

The series of six commercials, entitled ‘in any other form a hero’ and funded by the Cleveland Safety Camera Partnership (CSCP), appeared on local radio over an 18-month period.

"The commercials had a tremendous response and I have no doubt that they have helped to reduce collisions, which in turn helps to save lives," said CSCP spokesman Mick Bennett. "To get national recognition is tremendous and we are very honoured to get this award.

"The adverts are very simple. They spell out the costs involved in dealing with motor crashes. In particular the cost to the NHS of helping victims in crashes, that could have been avoided," he added.
