Time is running out for Whitehill & Bordon residents to nominate the town’s unsung heroes and community groups for a prestigious award.

There’s two good reasons why residents should check out the Annual Town Assembly in the Forest Community Centre on Thursday, March 20.

The W&B Community Awards 2025 will be presented to some of the town’s great and good during the Whitehill Town Council-organised event.

But residents could also get an update on the bid to open a Sainsbury’s in the town centre, with the retailer and the Whitehill & Bordon Regeneration Company expected to give presentations at the landmark meeting.

Residents have less than a fortnight to nominate a person or group for a community award as the deadline for nominations is Wednesday, March 5.

Nominations are being sought in four categories: Outstanding Youth Awards for years 1-6 and 7-13, Outstanding Adult Award, and Group/Organisation Achievement Award.

Nominations can be made through the ‘community awards’ section at www.whitehilltowncouncil.gov.uk while hardcopy forms are also available from the town council offices.

All nominees must either live, work or go to school in the Whitehill & Bordon parish, and must be available for the day of the event.

The meeting will also give residents a chance to learn more about what WTC and various key groups have achieved over the last year and their future plans.

There will also be presentations with figures from the Whitehill & Bordon Regeneration Company, Sainsbury’s and potentially Asmodee being lined-up to speak by WTC.

The council is also working hard on its VE Day event on May 8 with a flag raising and beacon lighting ceremony planned at the community centre and Whitehill village hall, respectively.

A community centre will also host the Mayor’s Charity event on May 10 with stalls and live music planned.
