Councillor Ken Meeson, Mayor of Solihull, said:
“If you know someone who has made a real difference in the borough and haven’t already nominated them for a Civic Honours award – I encourage you to do so.
“It’s time we recognise the unsung heroes who have done incredible work for our community and have helped make Solihull a special place.”
The deadline for nominations is Friday 1 July. Residents can submit their nominations online on the Solihull Council website.
