The National Association of Local Council’s (NALC) Star Council Awards are the only awards in England that recognise the local (parish and town) council sector’s positive contribution to its communities.
It has not been an easy 12 months.
Those in the sector have gone above and beyond their regular duties during the COVID-19 pandemic.
As a result, the theme of this year’s awards focus’ on projects that have positively impacted communities in the context of the pandemic.
Winning a Star Council Award gives national recognition for the great services provided to communities in these challenging times and with 9,000 parish councils in England, Tollerton Parish Council is ecstatic to be to a Star Council finalist.
A spokesperson said:
‘It’s now over to residents to vote for the winner.
‘It’s no easy feat for Tollerton as a small Nottinghamshire village up against big Town Councils, we are proud to be in the finals nonetheless, and an award would not only be in recognition of the parish council’s hard work but also for the communities’ hard work too who get involved with the parish council projects – e.g. helping to save the village pub, which is now a community pub, and getting involved in working groups to organise village events, neighbourhood planning, etc.’
