Sita Williams, one of the producers of The Street said: “It’s so wonderful because we’re based up here, we’ve got a lot of loyalty to the region and to get that kind of award from your peers is a huge honour.
“The Judges’ Award is very special as it is a tribute to the show and to every single member of the production team, from the not unimportant people who drive the cast around to the director.”
Ms Williams said everyone involved in the show are hoping that there will be more episodes of The Street in future.
Helen Bullough, chair of Royal Television Society NW, said: “The North West continues to shine out as a creative beacon across the industry.” from outstanding regional coverage and factual series, to innovative comedy, entertainment, and of course drama.
“All of that is down to the talent here, both on and off screen. This year more than any, the North West creative community has every right to be exceptionally proud of its dedication and hard work”.
