Respect Awards for Taking a Stand.

Mid Sussex residents have been acknowledged for playing their part in the Mid Sussex Crime and Disorder Reduction Partnership supporting and serving local communities and their efforts in helping to stamp out anti-social behaviour and encouraging residents to care for each other and their surroundings.  From some 600 nominations, Paul Myles, Jackie Parr, Rodney Ffoulkes and Derek Husted all received £1,000 towards community work.

Derek, of Bentswood Neighbourhood Watch, was commended for his work with Young Pilgrims Football Club at Haywards Heath.  For Jackie, community clean-up campaigns and flower planting are two of the ways she has worked with the help of local residents to tidy up the Wilmington Way area in Haywards Heath.

Rodney was the driving force behind the Community Speedwatch initiative to tackle speeding through West Hoathly.

Paul Myles is well known in Burgess Hill for his work at The Community House in Denham Road - a centre for many initiatives to provide support, advice and education to local residents.

Commemorative certificates were given to the winners at an awards ceremony held at The National Motorcycle Museum in Birmingham.  There they heard about other successful campaigns to make individual communities across the country more harmonious places to live and work in.

Mid Sussex District Council Community Safety Officer, Vera Grainger, who attended the ceremony with Paul Myles said, "I am so pleased that the CDRP nominees have been successful in these awards.  Their efforts and hard work just show what can be done by positive people with the support of their communities to really make a difference."
