Nantwich residents have a chance to vote for people who make a real difference to the town in this year’s Nantwich Mayor “Salt of the Earth” awards.
Current Mayor Cllr David Marren is following in the footsteps of former Mayors in staging the awards to recognise and celebrate the achievements of individuals, groups and businesses.
Eight “Salt of the Earth” awards will be presented at a reception on Sunday February 24 at Nantwich Civic Hall.
And nominations for the awards are now being encouraged.
Cllr Marren said: “During the past seven months in office as Mayor I have had the pleasure of meeting a number of individuals who have opened my eyes to what a wonderful town we live in.
“There are so many unsung heroes out there, who just don’t realise the impact their actions and contributions have on our community.
“We really should be acknowledging their dedication, so if you know someone or a group, who gives up their time and energy to help others or make Nantwich a better place, please help us recognise their work by nominating them for an award.”
You can nominate individuals, groups or businesses.
