Keynsham Good Citizen Award
The Keynsham Good Citizen Award was sent up by the Town Council in 2007 and is aimed at recognising those residents of Keynsham who give up their time voluntarily to provide support, services, activities or other works which benefit both the town and residents. To qualify for an award the person must be a Keynsham resident and be sponsored by two Keynsham residents (not related).
The nomination period ends 31st December and then the sponsors are invited to address the Members of the Town Council to say why their nominee should be chosen. The Good Citizens are then chosen by a small panel of Members (Chairman, Vice-Chairman and Political Group Leaders) which are then approved by full Council. The chosen Good Citizens are then presented with a certificate and £100 for the charity/ group of their choice at the Annual Town Meeting, held in April.
To make your nomination for 2010 please complete an application form available from Keynsham Town Council office or download the form here:
