Make a nomination for a civic honour
Residents can have their say on who should be put forward for Civic Honours with the Council looking to reward those in the community who truly make a difference.
A Civic Honour is the highest award a local authority can give to a citizen of the borough.
The scheme is open to all, but in the spirit of the award, seeks to recognise those that have made a special or unique contribution to Nuneaton and Bedworth borough or its citizens.
