Heroes are being nominated for this year's Community Leadership Awards.

It is the third year of the awards which sees members of the community recognised for making a difference.

Whether it be a volunteer, a colleague, or simply someone who has motivated another, Sutton Council is looking for people who go the extra mile for others.

Councillor Ruth Dombey, leader of Sutton Council, said: "For the past two years these awards have highlighted the moving and inspirational stories of Sutton's everyday heroes."

There are five categories which nominees should fit in to - making a difference to your neighbourhood, building prosperity, improving people's lives, keeping Sutton safe or making Sutton greener.

Nominations close on 28 January and people must give a brief expanation as to why their nominee is so special at www.sutton.gov.uk/communityleadershipawards or by emailing communityleadershipawards@sutton.gov.uk.

Winners will be announced in February next year and awards will be presented at an awards ceremony on 28 February.
