North Tyneside Council Officially Recognised Village Resident’s Dedication with the Chairman of North Tyneside’s Commendation Award

We are proud to announce that the Chairman of North Tyneside Council has awarded local residents Major Bill Campbell and Ken Roddam with commendations for their work in the community.
The Chairman’s Commendation Award Scheme was established to recognise the hard work and commitment of people who voluntarily give up their time to help their local community. The community champions give unselfishly to others in terms of their kindness, time and effort and making a significant personal contribution to either their local community or by helping other residents.

Ken Roddam, Burradon Post Office has always gone above and beyond his role as Post Master and provides and excellent service to his customers and is regarded as a pillar of the local community. He is always prepared to do extra work and hours especially for the older residents in the village.
On numerous occasions residents call on Ken in the most difficult of situations and invariably during a family crisis for advice and guidance and he has never ignored any request for help. Ken has the deep admiration and respect of all the people in the village.

Major Bill Campbell has devoted many years to working on behalf of the veteran community in North Tyneside. Bill helps the veterans and their families and his advice has helped resolve many issue affecting former members of Her Majesty’s armed forces and their families.
Bill organises fundraising events in the Borough and coordinates Remembrance Day Parades and the local community is extremely proud of his effort and achievements.

We trust everyone in the community will agree that Ken and Bill deserve the awards and you will join us with our sincere congratulations to both recipients.
