Clayton-le-Moors: David Cross to be given HBC Ruby Award

Long-time Clayton resident, David Cross, is to be awarded the final Ruby Award of the civic year at the
Council’s 26th March meeting to recognise his outstanding service to Clayton–le-Moors.

To mark the 40th anniversary of Hyndburn Borough Council in 2014, the Council has presented Ruby Awards in the 2014/15 municipal year, to recognise outstanding service by individuals to the community in each of the areas of the former councils that came together to form Hyndburn - Church, Clayton-le-Moors, Great Harwood, Oswaldtwistle, Rishton, Accrington and Altham Parish Council.

The last of these awards, the Clayton-le-Moors Ruby Award, is to be presented at the 26th March Council meeting to Mr David Cross.

The nomination says; “David is a long-time resident of Clayton-le-Moors and has always taken an interest in the welfare of others. As a resident of Albert Street, he helped to set up “Street watch”. He has also been a member of the Neighbourhood Management Board. Since moving to sheltered accommodation on Willow Close, he has been a catalyst for residents’ activities, including weekly bingo sessions and a weekly meal club. He has also been proactive in working with the landlord, Hyndburn Homes, to improve the surroundings for residents.”
