New Year Honour for John Herbert

John Herbert & Patrick McLoughlin

John Herbert receiving his award from & Patrick McLoughlin MP

Congratulations to our very own John Herbert who recently received the Matlock Mercury New Year Honours Award for 2012!

John was nominated for the many hours he has spent serving our local community over the years, as Sheldon Parish Meeting Chair, as a Parish Member of the Peak District National Park Authority, and perhaps most importantly for this website…the author of our incredibly successful monthly jottings! The award was presented by Patrick McLoughlin MP at a ceremony at the Imperial Rooms, Matlock. Ironically, John almost missed the ceremony because he was required at an important meeting at the National Park’s office in Bakewell, all part of his community role as Chair of the National Park Planning Committee.
