Wakes Colne Parish Council Award Scheme
Wakes Colne Parish Council operate a ‘Wakes Colne Parish Council Award Scheme’ to acknowledge the important role of local parishioners who, over time, have acted in the best interests of the Village by their good deeds, energy and enthusiasm.
The Parish Council is seeking nominations from groups and local people [to also include those from adjoining Parishes] requesting that they put forward for consideration, people or teams that they believe deserve to be recognised at local level.
The award will be an honorary title, and the successful recipient will receive a framed certificate to demonstrate their achievement.
Councillor Stephen Scrase who initially suggested the award scheme in 2017 states:
’I have rather become irritated by minor celebrities who normally trip down the red carpet being showered by gongs and knighthoods just for being a well-paid celebrity; very little recognition of our local celebrities is forthcoming so why not set up our own low profile award scheme to give those that give their time and energy a pat on the back for helping the local population.’
If you know of a worthy individual or team who have given voluntary service or represent a Village organisation, religious representative, charity worker, teacher, carer, council worker, postal worker, shop worker or any other group or person, please forward your nomination(s) to the Wakes Colne Parish Clerk, Kevin Money at clerk@wakescolne-pc.gov.uk, giving the following information:
