WITH one month to go until nominations close, Ivybridge Town Council is urging the public to get in touch with suggestions for who should win this year’s citizen and community group of the year prizes.

The David Britton Citizen of the Year Award and The Nick Cummins Community Group of the Year Award are given to those the council feel have made an invaluable contribution to the community and really made a difference to the town.

Ivybridge mayor Cllr Dave Gray-Taylor said: ‘There are many unsung heroes who work away, often behind the scenes, but who are making an impact on the community. The council urges people to think who would be worthy recipients of the citizens award and the community group of the year award.’

The awards are open to volunteers only, and as in previous years people living outside the town can be nominated, although they must have provided a service valued by people in Ivybridge.

To nominate individuals or groups please write to Ivybridge Town Council, Erme Court, Leonards Road, Ivybridge, PL21 0SZ, or email [email protected], giving full details including name/group, address and reasons why they should receive such an award. Please also include your own name and address.

Nominations will be considered by the town council at its October meeting, and winners will receive a presentation from the mayor towards the end of the year.

All entries must be received by Friday, October 14.
