MAYOR PRESENTS CIVIC AWARDS FOR 2020 & 2021

The Mayor of Newbury, Cllr Elizabeth O’Keeffe, met with the winners of the Newbury Town Civic Awards for 2020 and 2021 as one of her final mayoral engagements before the end of her term in office. 

The Civic Awards presentation would take usually place in the Council Chamber where all nominees would be invited to celebrate the achievements of all volunteers and awards would be presented, however this has not been possible due to the COVID-19 pandemic. 

Alternatively, the Mayor met with each award winner outside the Civic Entrance of the Town Hall in the Market Place last week to give them their awards and to discuss their achievements. 

The Mayor said, “Due to the pandemic, we haven’t had the opportunity to present the winners with their award. Before my term was finished, I wanted to meet the winners of both the 2020 and 2021 awards to give them their prizes. To meet the people who have given so much of their time and effort to the Town’s community was a wonderful way to end my 2 years in office.” 

Each winner received a custom-made wood turned award which was produced locally by Waney Edge Woodcraft. 

The winners of the awards are as follows:
