Civic Awards 2008

Epping Forest District Council Chairman Councillor Caroline Pond welcomed members and guests to Gaynes Park Barns in Epping for the Epping Forest District Council Civic Awards 2008 on Friday 14 March 2008.

The Civic Awards are a chance for members of the community to recognise the people who give their time and energy on behalf of others, often without thought of favour or reward, or as in the case of the Community Services medal, for conduct above and beyond the call of duty.
