Community groups in Bristol and North Somerset stand to share cash prizes of £1100 in the annual Good Neighbour Awards competition, which is now under way.

Prizes of £750 and £350 are awarded to the groups that best demonstrate a commitment to the neighbourhood in which they operate. The closing date for entries is June 30, 2012.

The awards scheme is organised by Miss Millie’s Fried Chicken, and is supported and judged by leading authorities including Avon & Somerset Constabulary, Avon Fire Brigade, Bristol City Council, the Bristol Evening Post, and Jack fm radio.

Last year’s winner was the Crossroads Young Carers Service in North Somerset for its work in supporting children aged from five to 18 who care for family members suffering from a serious illness or disability. The Bristol Dial-a-Ride scheme won the £350 second prize for a programme to help its 14,500 disabled and elderly members across Bristol.

Ann and Barrie Sleeman have retired as Franchisees at the Bedminster store.

They first joined the company 30 years ago, at the store in Weston-super-Mare, and had been Franchisees at the East Street Bedminster store for the past 23 years.

They are succeeded as franchisee by their son Kerrie, who took over on October 1.

Kerrie is pictured with Ann and Barrie, and partner Claire.
