Mayor Of Gosport 100 Award

Following a visit in 2022 to the NCI Gosport lookout tower by the then Mayor of Gosport, Cllr Jamie Hutchison, we were nominated for ‘Gosport 100’ award.  These awards are mark the 100th anniversary of Gosport becoming a borough

The award, was presented to Station Manger Colin Church and Caroline Hildrew, Deputy Station Manager, in a ceremony at GBC offices in November 2022.

Cllr Hutchison said: "As part of the borough's 100th anniversary, I wanted to celebrate the achievements of people who make a difference in our community. They could be people who organise community events, or who do valuable work like caring for others or litter-picking. The list of possibilities is endless - I'm just looking for people who have made a positive contribution to their neighbourhood or the borough as a whole."
