Nominations Wanted For 2017 ERYC Chairman’s Awards

Residents who would like to recognise people and businesses that help make their community a better place to live have until the end of January to nominate them for an award.

People can now make nominations for the 2017 East Riding of Yorkshire Council’s Chairman’s Awards which are presented to individuals and businesses that have helped improve the area over the last year.

There are five categories which people and businesses can be nominated for:

• community – recognises groups and individuals for their contribution to improving lives for those living in the East Riding with a non-commercial project
• built heritage – celebrates private homes, new builds or business premises that have been

sympathetically renovated and restored

• environment – recognises projects that have made an impact in the environment
• business – recognises businesses that have helped the economy flourish
• sport – celebrates local talent and commitment to sports clubs and activities.

Those shortlisted in each category will be invited to the ceremony, which will be held at Bridlington Spa in May, where the winners will be crowned.

The awards will be presented by chairman of East Riding of Yorkshire Council, Councillor John Dennis, in what will be his last engagement before he ends his year in office.

Councillor Dennis said:

“Throughout the communities within the East Riding there are people and businesses that put in their own time and effort to help enhance the area that they live in.
“By nominating these people, or businesses, for a Chairman’s Award you have the opportunity to have

their work recognised and to say thank you for all that they do.”
