A TOWN council is calling on people to nominate worthy residents for its citizenship awards.

Loughton residents have until January 31 to put people forward to the town council who have shown outstanding courage or bravery or undertaken exceptional voluntary work.

Local residents, businesses and school children are all eligible for the award which also has an under 25s category for youth achievement.

Winners will be invited to Loughton Town Council's annual Civic Service on Sunday, February 28 where they will receive an illuminated scroll and cheque for £250 towards their chosen charity.

Nomination forms can be received by contacting the town council on 020 8508 4200 or they are available to download at loughton-tc.gov.uk.
