Delighted - I was careful not to miss any out from the initial press release - but it did list winners only and there's a lot of fabulous other work going on that would have reached the placed and commended level not shown in that first release.

I would be - almost certain - that there would be many others across our region who got excellent national recognition last night and I would ask that they, or others who where there, please fill us in

William Huskisson MP (Member of Parliament) was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830.  Many more have died in the same way since then.  Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.

"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner."  Discuss.
