Kayleigh and Eva Clark

Kayleigh and Eva are both members of 4th Stotfold Brownies, and during November they decided to try and help keep their town clean, whilst raising funds for charity, and so undertook litter picking across the town. They managed to collect a significant amount of litter, and whilst promoting girl guiding, they did a great job in raising £203 for Children in Need.

It is great to see our younger residents stepping forward to help improve their town, and raising funds for a good cause, and it is for this reason that they were recognised with the Citizens Award.

 Bob Werrett

Over the last couple of decades, Bob has orchestrated and lead the Silver Birch Avenue Christmas Lights switch on event. He has managed to encourage his fellow Silver Birch Avenue residents to put up Christmas Lights outside their houses, and to synchronise their switch on for the event itself. Residents also put on refreshments, with money raised at the event going to charity.

Linda Preston & Sue Dunne

Linda Preston and her sister Sue Dunne, two Stotfold residents, meet-up every day at 6am and collect litter from across Stotfold. They started litter picking just before the first lockdown and have continued it tirelessly every day since, the only exception is when it is hammering down with rain!

During the course of my town council work emptying bins and litter picking our recreation grounds, I often come across these ladies, who are friendly and extremely hard working, and I would like to see their community spirit recognised through the council’s award.
