MILLENIUM AWARDS 2011
Steyning Parish Council was pleased to present two very special Millenium awards this year. The first went to Jackie Campbell for her very long and devoted service to Steyning. Jackie has been a District Councillor, Chairman of the Parish Council, and an active member of many, many organisations within the town. This award recognises her long and devoted service to the Town.
We also felt it appropriate to mark the sterling service which Lewis Whittaker, the Chairman of Steyning and District Royal British Legion, has given by his leadership in providing the new memorial garden and war memorial, in Memorial Playing Field. Triggered by some original proposals from the Parish Council, Lewis and his committee took forward this substantial project which was opened earlier this year and has proved a tremendous credit to the Royal British Legion and to Steyning.
Our photograph shows Jackie, Lewis, and Chairman of the Parish Council David Barling with local member of parliament Nick Herbert in attendance at the Council’s annual reception for people and groups working within the community, held on 2nd December.
