Nominations are open for the 2024 Witney Citizen of the Year.

Witney Town Council is looking for people who have given exemplary service, which may be paid or unpaid, who make a real difference to the town.

Judges will be looking in particular for selfless service to a voluntary body or the community or someone whose service is acknowledged as making a real difference to the everyday lives of others. 

There is no age barrier, but nominees must live, or carry out the work for which they have been nominated, in Witney.

If you know someone or an organisation deserving of the award you can nominate them for Citizen of the Year or in three other categories: certificate of outstanding merit, outstanding commitment to public service and outstanding contribution.

The awards will be presented at a civic reception for winners, their friends and family and special guests hosted by the mayor Cllr Owen Collins next March.

The event is usually the mayor's last engagement of their term of office.

Nominations close on Sunday January 12, 2025 at www.witney-tc.gov.uk/coy
