Now is your chance to recognise someone who has contributed to the Macclesfield community.

The Mayor of Macclesfield, councillor Sandy Livingstone, has launched this year's Civic Awards.

These awards recognise people who have given their time to make a difference to a community group or the town as a whole.

Councillor Livingstone said: "Macclesfield is a town with a strong community and a sense of its own identity. 

"There are people young or old all across our town that contribute and enrich our community, either in charities, sports clubs, community groups, school, a local business, an individual, or an ambassador.

"If you know someone like that then I would like you to nominate them for a Mayor's Civic Award.

"The nominations are open now and the awards will be presented on May 11 at what I hope will be a celebration of our town."
