Hundreds in the running for Telford Community Pride Awards
More than 300 people have been nominated in the Telford Community Pride Awards, rewarding those who make a difference.
Judges are working through the 317 nominations received before voting closed on September 28, and a shortlist will be announced in the next few weeks.
An awards ceremony will then be held at the Telford International Centre on November 29, 50 years to the day that Telford was created.
The awards were set up as part of the Telford50 celebrations, with people from Telford & Wrekin encouraged to nominate people in categories including Outstanding Volunteer and Best Environmental Champion.
Councillor Shaun Davies, leader of Telford & Wrekin Council, said: "The number of nominations shows just how many wonderful people we have in our borough.
"They deserve to be recognised for what they do to help improve their communities and support others.
“They are what help make our borough such a great place to be.
“Their stories should be celebrated and I hope that by hosting these awards we can inspire others to make a difference.”
