This report presents nominations for consideration under the Council’s annual Citizen and Young Citizen of Honour Awards 2019.
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 Citizen of Honour Award.
Over the last 22 years, the award has honoured 95 residents of the Borough, with nomination being received from all areas of Fareham.
This year, the Council has received 22 nominations overall. There are 16 nominations for the Citizen of Honour Award (18 and over) and 6 nominations for the Young Citizen of Honour Award (under 18).
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 2019 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.
