Town Council chairman cllr Steve Abbott said: “We want to know about our unsung heroes and find out about the work they do to improve the lives of others, whether this is volunteering with youth groups, coaching a local sports team, protecting the local environment the possibilities are endless.

"There are many people out there doing valued work in our community and we need to hear about them.”
