AT the Willersey Parish Council Annual meeting on May 24, acting chairman Phil Bennett presented Chris Gooding with the Maurice Andrews Award for Community Service.

In his address to the assembled residents of Willersey, Mr Bennett praised all the unsung heroes of Willersey who do so much to keep the village neat and tidy.

The parish council had great pleasure in awarding this year’s Community Award to Chris Gooding for all his tireless work throughout the village and particularly the creation of the Garden of Remembrance just below the cemetery.
