NORTH Weald Bassett Parish Council is seeking nominations – an individual or group within the community – for its Citizen of the Year awards.

If you know a young person (aged 18 and under) and feel they deserve recognition, they can be nominated for the Young Citizen of the Year category.

The nomination may be for a single act of outstanding courage or bravery, or might encompass work carried out within the Parish, good-neighbourliness, commitment to a sporting or educational goal or to improve community facilities.

The individual or group may be nominated by anyone who lives or works within the Parish of North Weald Bassett.

Nominees must live or work within the Parish of North Weald Bassett – this includes the villages of North Weald, Thornwood Common and Hastingwood.

Please contact the parish council for a nomination form or visit the parish
council’s website – www.northweald-pc.gov.uk.

Completed forms should be submitted to the Parish Office by no later than Monday, February 27.

North Weald Bassett Parish Council officers and councillors are disqualified from being nominated.

Service in political organisations is excluded from all categories and service to religious bodies is only applicable if it involves substantial contribution to the wider community.

For more details, ring the Parish Office on 07572 507591 or email [email protected].

Award winners will be announced at the Annual Parish Assembly at The Parish Hall, Weald Hall Lane, Thornwood, on Monday, March 13.
