Town Mayor, Cllr Jeff Pearson, said: “I was privileged to have the opportunity to meet and personally thank these volunteers for their invaluable work in our local community. We know there are many more hard-working volunteers out there who deserve recognition for their voluntary work – don’t leave it for someone else to do it and get in touch with us at the Town Hall to nominate someone you know for an award next year!”
