Coun Ian Swithenbank, cabinet member for local services at Northumberland County Council, said: “The LOVE Northumberland awards celebrate the work of the schools, community groups and individual volunteers whose endeavours preserve and enhance the environment of our great county.

“We want to encourage people to get involved and make a difference in their area, and to celebrate all the fantastic voluntary effort that goes on up and down Northumberland each year, which supports the council’s aims to keep Northumberland clean and green. There is still time for anyone with an environmental story to tell to get in touch and make an application for an award.”

Awards for the winners will be presented by the Duchess of Northumberland at an event at the Alnwick Garden on Monday, June 20, which will be hosted by the BBC’s Carol Malia.
