Local 'hero' attends tea party in Parliament

July 3 2009

Pauline Fielding, of Heswall, was invited by her MP Ben Chapman, to attend a tea party in Parliament for "heroes", who have made an outstanding contribution to the voluntary sector in their community.

Ben Chapman said:
"It was an honour to attend this event with Pauline Fielding, who is a tireless campaigner for justice for road crash victims. She carries out exceptional work for the charity RoadPeace, which offers practical and emotional support, raises the profile of road safety and seeks to challenge leniency towards those who break traffic laws. It also provides invaluable advice and a national helpline.

I am delighted that Pauline's work has been recognised in this way. The charity has had a significant impact on the lives of people in Wirral South and across the United Kingdom."
After the Tea Party, Pauline commented:

"I was honoured that Ben chose to invite me and pleased to accept. I had a fantastic time. It was good to meet the other volunteers and I also enjoyed seeing how Parliament works.

Our aim at RoadPeace is to end discrimination against road crash victims and to ensure that road victims will receive decent treatment and services, and that society will suffer far fewer unnecessary road deaths and injuries in future.

I would like to thank Ben for all the support he has given, and continues to give, as my MP. His advice and encouragement have been invaluable and are greatly appreciated."
