This year the Town Council introduced the Prescot Community Recognition Awards. These awards have been designed to recognise the positive impact that certain individual residents and community groups have on the Town through their hard work and dedication. There are two awards, one for Citizen of the Year and another for community group of the year.
With so many worthy winners the inaugural competition was extremely tight, the panel were however able to agree the winners of this year and both awards were presented by the incoming Mayor Cllr Jennifer Chadwick at the annual Mayor Making event held on 27th May 2017.
Mrs Betty Brown – picked up the Citizen of the year Award, Betty’s continual hard work over a great many years within Prescot really impressed the panel and ultimately won through in the individual category.
The Prescot Festival – picked up the Community Group of the Year award. The Prescot Festival has been running for 13 years and over that time has engaged with thousands, both from Prescot and the wider area, thus helping to raise the profile of the Town. The panel recognized the level of commitment it has taken to put on not one but thirteen individual events over the nine-day duration of the festival, on thirteen occasions!
