Dear Sir,
Regarding the article on who deserves the Chairman’s Medal in Newton Aycliffe?
I don’t think any resident would have to rack their brains on that question as in my mind one person stands out above any other and that is “Honest John”.
He tirelessly stood in all weathers selflessly raising money for so many good causes in our town.
He always has a cheery friendly greeting for everyone and since the demise of the market he now does the same good work in the Cubby.
I don’t know of any other person who would work the hours he gives for free – my nomination without a doubt is Honest John.
