Great Dawley mayor’s awards will recognise pandemic heroes
People who have gone "above and beyond" during the pandemic will be recognised in a Telford council's special award ceremony.
Great Dawley Town Council has launched the Mayor's Citizen Award and is looking for nominations in four categories.
Mayor Stefan Heighway said the awards would celebrate the members of the Great Dawley community who had been outstanding during the Covid-19 pandemic.
“This has been an extraordinarily challenging time for everyone and we want to recognise the local people who have gone above and beyond to help others,” he said.
The awards have categories for young people (aged under 18), the community, neighbour, and business, and all nominees must live or work within the Great Dawley parish area.
Nomination forms are available on the council website page and in the Co-op, Dawley High Street.
Competed forms can be returned to Dawley Town Hall and to a post box at the Co-op by March 26.
All entrants will be invited to a virtual awards ceremony on April 16 via Zoom and all nominees will also receive a certificate from Councillor Heighway.
The ceremony will feature profiles and photos of the nominees, celebrating their achievements.
“The town council is looking forward to hearing all the wonderful stories of the unsung heroes of our community and this is an opportunity to say thank you to all our residents for coming together in such a difficult time,” he added.
