Tunbridge Wells Borough Council has just advertised (see below) the Love Where We Live Awards 2010. A 'gong' chasers charter if ever I saw one. I believe people volunteer, not for personal gain or plaudits, but out of a sense of responsibility. We don't need a vox pop competition to pick out a 'winner'. It will be interesting to see who is daft enough to agree to be nominated for these pathetic awards. I assume the Council would not be so stupid as not to verify a person/organisation is willing to be nominated.
Love Where We Live Awards 2010
Who keeps your community alive? Who makes the place you live in better?
Love Where We Live is a campaign aimed at promoting and enhancing community pride. We want people to feel proud to live here and to want to work together as communities to make it a better borough.
As part of the campaign we want to find community champions - people who make a positive contribution to improving their area and the lives of the people that live there. We are asking you to nominate people who live or work in the borough that you feel deserve a special recognition for the contribution they make to the community.
We will publish a list of those shortlisted from the nominations and ask you to vote for your winner who will be presented with an award early in the New Year.
We are inviting nominations in the following categories:
Most outstanding contribution to the community - this award will be presented to an individual or group that has been judged to have made the biggest difference to the community they live in. The difference does not have to be a physical difference, but equally could be, and has to be judged as having made a consistent and ongoing contribution to enhancing the quality of the lives of those living in the community.
Individual award - This award will be presented to an individual who has been judged to have made a significant contribution to enhancing the lives of people living in a community.

I note there is no definition of community. Is the scheme limited to communities of geography, or does it include communities of interest?
