During the Covid-19 pandemic, I started a Community Hero Award to celebrate individuals and businesses who had gone above and beyond for their communities.

This month, I was delighted to award it to James Gillespie’s Primary School ‘Bike Bus’ which has made cycling to school so much safer for the kids at JGPS. Were it not for a flat tyre on my bike, I would have joined them on their route!

This award relies on nominations from local people and constituents, so please feel free to nominate individuals, businesses or organisations that you feel deserve recognition for their work with the community.
