FOI request (FOIR-529425787)

Civic honours

Requested Wed 05 July 2023
Responded  Wed 12 July 2023

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 (for example, Mayor). I am interested in receiving the information for any period for which you hold the records.

Response

Freedom of the Borough has been given to:

• 47th Regiment

• Michael Foster

• Maureen Charlesworth

Hastings Borough Council also presents an Order of 1066 Award. This is an award to recognise and honour a person who has given exceptional service to the town and its residents in a voluntary capacity. A list of winners is attached.
