A REDDITCH-based company has scooped a top award for the advances it has made in road safety.

DSM, in Papermill Drive has been awarded a Prince Michael International Road Safety Award.

The awards are presented to individuals, companies or organisations in recognition of their contribution to improving road safety and have become highly sought after within the road safety community.

Each year the most outstanding examples of international road safety initiatives are given recognition through the awards.

Road users, including pedestrians, drivers, cyclists, bikers and horse riders are asked to identify those schemes which make roads safer and nominate the developers for an award.
