HATHERLEIGH Town Council is busy organising the second community awards evening to be held on September 23.

After the success of last year's inaugural event, the town council has asked residents of Hatherleigh to nominate who they feel should be recognised for their work within the community.

Nominations have been collected and the town council has chosen the winners for the seven categories.

There are a range of awards to be won, including the lifetime achievement award, community group award, and for the under 18s who have contributed most to Hatherleigh.

The event takes place in Hatherleigh Community Centre from 7.30pm. Entry is free, and there will be live music and a buffet.
