Pateley Bridge and Bewerley recognise the community response to covid
The people of Pateley Bridge and Bewerley have been recognised for their selfless contribution to the community during the covid pandemic.
Plaques have been unveiled within both of the parishes that make up the town council serving the area.
The unveilings were carried out by the Mayor and Mayoress of Pateley Bridge, Cllr Mike and Dr Janet Holt and the chair of Bewerley Parish Council, Cllr Graham Spooner.

While it was not possible to recognise each individual, because of the large number involved in voluntary activities and service that helped others, it was agreed that the plaques would be a poignant way of marking the collective community effort.
