Conservatives on West Lindsey District Council are looking forward to celebrating the district’s unsung heros.
The spotlight will shine on the people who make things happen in the communities across West Lindsey.
Conservative-led West Lindsey District Council are launching their first 'Community Awards' and want to recognise people who devote time and effort into making their neighbourhoods a better place.
The recipients will be local people who seek no reward for their outstanding effort.
And now the question is being asked: 'Do you know someone who deserves to be praised?' If so the Council want to hear from you so they can celebrate and reward their great work. They might be a volunteer, a carer, a person who shows great courage, who inspires others, a fund-raiser or maybe a great neighbour.
All you need to do is nominate the person you think ought to be recognised and tell us why.
The categories are:
- Area Champion 2012– We will award six area champions and one of these will be voted as West Lindsey Citizen of the Year 2012
- Volunteer of the Year 2012 – Do you know someone who has made a significant contribution in your area?
- Parish/Town Council of the Year 2012 – has your council has made a significant contribution in your area?
An award ceremony will be held on Monday, 10th December at 7:00pm at the Christmas Council meeting in the Guildhall Gainsborough.
These awards are being backed by the Chairman, Cllr. Mrs. Jessie Milne, Conservative (Lea Ward) who is keen to see a wide variety of people being nominated. She said:
"I hope that this will be first of many more years where we can thank people for there community work."
The nomination forms are available from the Council's website [www.west-lindsey.gov.uk/communityawards] and the closing date for the forms is Thursday, 15th November 2012. For further details please contact Nicola Calver on 01427 676596.
