"Peter is a fine example of what the Townsperson of the Year award was created for - someone who cares about their community and works regularly to help fellow residents and visitors."
"Alexander has shown leadership skills, team playing skills and such a service to his community."
The Epping Society was founded in January 1972 by volunteers to "conserve and improve" Epping "with a shared desire to preserve the environment, mobilise opinion and take action to help safeguard the character" of the town.
The Community Award was given to The Epping Society for its dedication to preserving Epping's environment and character over the years.
