Tea With the Mayor
Bolton Green Umbrella | Saturday 17 February 2018 | 0 Comments
At our first meeting with Cllr Nick Peel and two members of Bolton Council's Policy and Partnerships Department in September 2016 we asked that the council hold an event to recognise and thank all the volunteers we knew about at that time. They were very enthusiastic and the result was an event in November 2016 called "Tea With The Mayor", which gave senior members of Bolton Council and cabinet members the opportunity to say a heartfelt "THANK YOU" for the hardwork and selfless dedication of Bolton's environmental volunteers.
The Mayor herself gave a certificate and her personal thanks to every volunteer, and the event was reported in the Bolton News. It was a huge success with a very positive feeling - something we were told is quite unusual for a Council event! And Bolton Council are very keen to hold other such events in the future to show their appreciation.
