One of the leading stalwarts of community life in Seamer, Irton and Crossgates, Enid Plevey, has become the first recipient of a new trophy being awarded to residents in the parishes.

The trophy has been given by Cllr David Jeffels, who represents the Derwent Valley and Moor division in the new North Yorkshire Council.

Making the presentation at Seamer and Crossgates Parish Council meeting, Cllr Jeffels said Mrs Plevey had given many years of dedicated service as secretary of the Memorial Hall, and as a key figure in the Women’s Institute, the parish church of St Martin’s, numerous committees, as well as several other organisations.

“As a result of her hard work, the two parishes have a very buoyant community spirit which benefits the many hundreds of residents throughout the year,” he said.

"Enid’s support and hard work is legendary and she was a unanimous choice of recipient for this new award which will be given each year.”
