Southwark civic awards

Councillor Dora Dixon-Fyle (Mayor of Southwark) explained that the civic awards recognised excellence in active citizenship and members of the public were encouraged to nominate individuals, projects, organisations and businesses across the borough worthy of being honoured. The closing date for nominations was Tuesday 29 March 2016 and nomination forms were available from the Mayor’s office and on the council’s website.

 

National apprenticeship week
