Latest news from Ivybridge Town Council THE DAVID BRITTON CITIZEN OF THE YEAR AWARD 2013 Ivybridge Town Council is once again delighted to announce that it is seeking nominations for the Citizen of the Year Award 2013, which has been renamed The David Britton Citizen of the Year Award. This prestigious award will be given to the person whom the Council feel has provided an invaluable input into the community and have made a difference through their involvement in the town. The criteria includes those who solely volunteer within the community and, as in previous years, the award does cover people living outside the town although they must have provided a service valued by people in Ivybridge. Last year, the award was given to the late Mr David Britton posthumously in recognition of his volunteering and dedication to work within the town. If you know of any person please write to Ivybridge Town Council, Erme Court, Leonards Road, Ivybridge, PL21 0SZ (or email the information to susanhocking@ivybridge. gov.uk) giving details of their name, address and reasons why they should be put forward to receive such an award and also include your own name and address. The nominations will be considered by the Town Council in October and the winner will receive a presentation from the Mayor in late Autumn. All entries must be received by Monday 23rd September 2013.
BUSINESS IN IVYBRIDGE Ivybridge Town Council is looking for innovative ways to support small businesses in Ivybridge. We will shortly be announcing the return of the Breakfast Networking Event which is open to all businesses in Ivybridge and the surrounding area. It should become an opportunity to learn from other enterprises in the area, as well as a chance to discover what services are available locally. We also have some available units in The Watermark Business Centre. They offer excellent value as they include your own phone line, electricity, heating and 24 hour access. The lease is on one month, easy in, easy out terms, so if you are just starting out or are looking to take the first steps into expansion, you can do so with no long term commitments. We can put you in touch with various free or low cost business support providers and you will be working in a thriving business environment. Contact Ivybridge Town Council for more information.
