A report by the Director of Governance and Assurance requested agreement from the Committee that the Wirral Award be conferred on the nominees as recommended by the Wirral Award Working Party held on 18 December 2019.  The Wirral Award was intended to confer civic recognition upon individuals or organisations resident or located in Wirral for an outstanding achievement within the previous twelve months, or for distinguished service to the Borough over a period of twenty years or more.

It was reported that once nominations were agreed, a presentation ceremony would be arranged which would be attended by The Mayor of Wirral, the Leader of the Council, Group Leaders or their nominees, the Chair and spokespersons of the Licensing, Health and Safety and General Purposes Committee or their nominees and the award nominees plus one guest each.

Members considered the recommendations of the Wirral Award Working Party and the nominations which were attached to the report as an exempt appendix.

On a motion by Councillor D Mitchell and seconded by Councillor A Hodson it was -

Resolved –

(1)  That the Wirral Award 2019 be conferred upon those recipients recommended by the Wirral Award Working Party.

(2)  That the arrangements for the presentation ceremony as set out in paragraph 3.0 of the report be agreed.
