Town Councillor of the Year

Congratulations to our very own Cllr Steve Plumley

Steve who was awarded The Peter Duppa-Miller Award for Town Councillor of the Year at the B&NES Community Awards this week.

“Steve Plumley deserves recognition because he is one of those people who works quietly and unassumingly behind the scenes across dozens of community groups in Midsomer Norton. He shares his wealth of knowledge, links people and ideas and in short oils the wheels so that the community can achieve great things – and he’s been doing it for decades in a quiet and unassuming way giving thousands of hours of his time. Steve grew up in Midsomer Norton and Radstock and so he knows everyone. He was a Councillor on the old Norton Radstock Town Council and was instrumental in building bridges when the new Midsomer Norton Town Council was created in 2011 and has served on it ever since. He also works tirelessly for local residents – one example is how he worked with B&NES to get kerbs lowered and barriers moved to improve access for the disabled. There are now more areas in the Town residents in wheelchairs can access. Whatever the project, Steve brings people together. He’s a Midsomer Norton Treasure.”
