Civic honours
Dear Tendring District Council,
Please provide me with a list of individuals, groups of people and/or bodies, who have been awarded the freedom of your council area, or any similar award or designation.
By similar award or designation, I mean an honorary civic award bestowed by the council on an individual, company, group or military unit with the intent of recognising their contribution to the local area. This would exclude formal civic offices eg Mayor. I am interested in receiving the information for any period for which you hold the records.
Yours faithfully,
Helen Cross
