The certificate was presented by Cllr Gay Hill, Chair of DALC’s Small Parish Group.   The current Parish Council Chairman, Cllr Simon Brent, paid tribute to Tony’s depth of knowledge of the history of the Parish and surrounding area, built up over his 50 years, and his willingness to work for the good of the whole community.
