This report presents nominations for consideration under the Council’s annual Citizen of Honour and Young Citizen of Honour Awards 2018.
The Citizen of Honour Award was introduced in November 1996. Five years later, the scheme was extended to recognise the efforts of younger residents under the age of 18 through the Young Person of the Year Award.
Over the last 21 years, the award has honoured 90 residents of the Borough, with nominations being received from all areas of Fareham.
This year, the Council has received 12 nominations overall. There are 8 nominations for the Citizen of Honour Award, 3 nominations for the Young Citizen of the Year Award (12-17 year olds), and 1 nomination for the Young Citizen of the Year Award (4-11 year olds).
In order to encourage resident participation in future years, those who put someone forward for nomination this year, will be invited to do so again next year if their candidate does not win the 2018 award. The Executive reserves the right to increase the number of candidates who are honoured in future awards, provided a higher number of nominations are received.
