About the awards
Following the sad death of Tony Cheetham in December 2018 the parish council considered how to acknowledge the good work he had done during his time as a parish councillor. Tony was first elected in May 2007, re-elected in May 2017, and represented the Trefonen with Treflach Ward. He did a lot of work within the community and the council thought it was only fitting to put his name to the annual Community Service Award in recognition of Tony’s dedication and service to the local community.
