ATWORTH PRESENTS DAVID WEBB WITH HONORARY
FREEDOM OF THE PARISH OF ATWORTH
Melksham Town Cryer : Effie Gale-Sides: Mrs and David Webb : Sir James Fuller
The whole village was invited along to the annual Parish Assembly held each year by
the Parish Council of Atworth. This year was an extra special event as the council’s
meeting on Wednesday 16th April, was not only an opportunity to report all that had
happened during the last year, but also an opportunity to show the appreciation of the
village for all the hard work, time and effort one man has made to improving the lives
of local residents.
After Effie Gale-Sides chairman of the Parish Council had delivered her report, there
was an opportunity for local groups to also report on the past year of their
organisations. The Hall was full with residents interested to hear what has been
happening in Atworth during the previous 12 months. The Parish Plan was laid out at
the back of the hall for all to view and many comments were added during the
evening.
Finally the moment arrived, and David Webb was asked to stand forward so Sir James
could present him with the Honorary Freedom of the Parish of Atworth, A speech was
made explaining the many things and many years David has devoted to village life,
and David made a speech of thanks in return in which he named his wife as his
stalwart over so many years. The evening finished with refreshments, wine and cakes
provided by our own W.I.
