Ludlow residents are being encouraged to put forward nominations for the 2026 Civic Awards.

Organised by Ludlow Town Council, the awards recognise individuals and groups who make outstanding contributions to the community.

There are five categories, including awards for adult and young volunteers, community groups and climate action.

Nominations must come from local residents and include a statement explaining why the nominee deserves recognition.

Di Lyle says the awards are a chance to highlight the work of “unsung heroes” across the town.

The deadline for entries is May 6.

Winners will be announced at the Mayor Making ceremony later that month.
