Deadline looms for Lynda Chalker nominations

Road Safety GB has issued a final call for nominations for the 2012 Lynda Chalker Award, with the nomination process closing on 31 August.

The Lynda Chalker Award is for individuals or organisations who have contributed significantly to road safety in the United Kingdom.

Last year, Road Safety GB presented the Award to the Bicycle Helmet Initiative Trust (pictured) for its work in promoting cycle helmet use to children.

Lynda Chalker (now the Baroness Chalker of Wallasey), was transport minister in the mid-1980s, and presented LARSOA (now Road Safety GB) with a carriage clock to be used for the Award when she moved to a new post in overseas development.

The 2012 Lynda Chalker Award will be presented at the National Road Safety Conference, organised by Road Safety GB, in November 2012.
