Nominations open for civic awards

AWARDS are up for grabs for people and businesses which have improved the East Riding over the past year.

Nominations for 2011 East Riding of Yorkshire Council's Chairman's Awards are sought in four categories: community, built heritage, environment and business.

The community category recognises groups and individuals who have improved the lives of residents with a non-commercial project.

Built heritage celebrates private homes, or business premises that have been sympathetically renovated and restored.

The environment award is for projects that made an impact on the environment, while the business award rewards employers that have boosted the economy.

The top entries in each category will be invited to the awards ceremony.

People can also nominate council employees or teams for a chairman's commendation for those who have gone above and beyond the call of duty.

To submit a nomination visit www.eastriding.gov.uk/chairmansawards or call Sarah Asquith, civic officer on 01482 393260. The closing date is January 31.
