Campaigner will carry on the fight
The See Me Save Me campaign was founded by Coun Kate Cairns, of Newton-by-the-Sea, following the death of her sister Eilidh, 30, from Ellingham, who was run down by an HGV driver while riding her bike in London on February 5, 2009.
Coun Cairns, county councillor for Longhoughton, said: “The campaign has had major success at local, national and European level in bringing changes to policy, standards, and the law, in respect of vehicle safety and driver competence.

“We will carry on campaigning until we have safer roads for everyone.”
