Rose of Northamptonshire awarded to Cllr Karen Tweedale

Cllr Karen Tweedale has been awarded a 'Rose of Northamptonshire' for the support she has given and continues to give to her local community during the pandemic.

Northamptonshire County Council, alongside the High Sheriff's office and Lord Lieutenancy launched its own award scheme as part of the Unsung Heroes initiative, the 'Rose of Northamptonshire' award. This award was to identify and express thanks to those groups or individuals who have worked tirelessly to keep our communities safe, and our businesses moving during the global COVID-19 crisis.

Mayor, Cllr Lynne Taylor said "Karen coordinated a fantastic team to directly support elderly and shielding residents of Middlemore throughout the pandemic, particularly during the lockdowns. She arranged for shopping and prescriptions to be delivered and offered community support to all who live on the estate - congratulations".
