Our Local Heroes event recognises those sometimes unsung stars who have gone above and beyond to improve the lives of others in their local areas. 

The heroes were invited to a civic reception at County Hall to be honoured for their work. Those invited were nominated by their elected members from across the council. 

Council Chair Councillor John Beynon, who hosted the event, said: “It’s a truly humbling experience to meet these residents and hear about their work first hand. It’s a real honour and everyone who came can be called a local hero.”
