Nantwich Mayor, Councillor David Marren, has announced that he will be following in the footsteps of former Mayors and presenting awards to recognise and celebrate the achievements of individuals, groups and businesses, that selflessly make a real difference to the Nantwich community.
Eight fittingly named ‘Salt of the Earth’ Awards will be presented at a reception on Sunday 24th February at Nantwich Civic Hall.
The Mayor is welcoming nominations for the awards, he commented, “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.”
