Road safety is a major priority for bus drivers with Wallingford-based Thames Travel and the company should be congratulated on its record, said deputy mayor Mike Mold.

He was handing out 21 safe-driving awards at a presentation to mark the 10th anniversary of the company.

David Lunn and Frank Tyler received awards for seven years' safe driving, George Walker and Philip Smith gained five-year awards and John Rowlingson, Nigel West, Darren Perkins and Neale Tasker got four-year awards.

Three-year awards went to Collin Chapman, Graham Duke and Graham Boyd, while Pete Edwards, Sudar Shrestha, David Smart, Ken Burton, Gavin Belcher, Paul Hawkins, William Neasham, Tracy Bonfield, Ken Kusel and Wayne Pearce were handed one-year badges.

David Wills, of Thames Travel, said: "The time has come to recognise all our staff and their invaluable contribution which has made the company's success possible."
