Councillor Ian Wingfield to introduce this year’s nomination process
Minutes:
Councillor Ian Wingfield explained that he was presenting the item on behalf of the Southwark Civic Association (SCA).
The SCA was an independent organisation made up of individuals and groups representing local businesses, heritage groups and the community. Its main objective was to promote the borough in terms of its civic pride. It was founded in 1997 and there was an annual service each May at St George’s Cathedral. Civic awards were made to individuals or organisations who the SCA considered had made a significant contribution during the course of the year to the interests of the borough. Examples of actions that might lead to a civic award included: an act of courage, some innovation or the promotion of community cohesion.
