Local Assembly Member JOYCE WATSON AM is hoping to see nominations from across Mid and West Wales for the prestigious annual Keep Wales Tidy awards, which are sponsored by the Environment Agency Wales and Visit Wales.
MRS WATSON said:
"We live in one of the most beautiful parts of the world, so we should all do our bit to preserve it. Just an hour or two a week can help to rid our towns, villages and countryside of damage and litter, and it's a good way of making friends and getting exercise.
“These awards reward people who make a real difference to our communities. If you know of someone who may be shy to nominate themselves, please do not hesitate to fill in the form on their behalf.
"So many volunteers give their time and energy to keep Wales tidy, and this is a great way for us to say thank you for their efforts.”
There are prizes of £500 in eleven categories, and an overall winner will receive a specially commissioned trophy and an additional £1,000:
- Large partnership award
- River improvement
- Beach improvement
- School
- Business
- Tourism
- Industry
- Public Sector
- Long-term effort
- Individuals
- Woodland improvement
- Community group
The deadline for nominations is 30th September, and the awards ceremony will take place in November.
