eat:Bedminster returns to East Street Lord Mayor’s Medal for Mike

LOCAL hero Mike Alden, who won the BBC’s Unsung Hero Award at the Sports Personality of the Year awards in December, has been selected to receive the Lord Mayor of Bristol’s Medal and will attend the presentation ceremony at The Mansion House in Clifton in April.

The Lord Mayor’s Medal recognises outstanding and innovative unpaid service and support provided to others, especially selfless service to a voluntary body or to our community, or which brings distinction and quality to Bristol life.

Sian Ellis-Thomas of the Friends of Redcatch Park said on hearing the news: “We are so very happy that Bristol has now honoured his sterling work in his own city.”
