Sleaford REP, and its owners Greencoat Capital, sponsored the Contribution to a Better Environment Award at this year's North Kesteven Community Champions Awards, organised by NKDC.  The award winner was Tomas Dickson,  for his hitter picking throughout North and South Hykeham, as well as his involvement with the River Witham Rivercare group, Freshwater Watch, Hykeham in Bloom, Sleaford Navigation Trust and Lincs Wildlife and Rivers trusts. In addition, Tomas surveys the extent of Himalayan Balsam, plants trees, seeds wildflowers, builds bug hotels, monitors river-flies and tests water quality within his many wide-ranging environmentally-minded actions.

Runners up for the Environment award were Carol Hubbard of Ruskington and Nancy Baker of North Hykeham.
