The Alf Dove Award
The Alf Dove Award may be presented to a member of the local community to recognise and mark the significant community service they have given to the Borough.
Written nominations for this award are sought from all Members of the council in June each year. The council's Group Leaders together consider the nominations and decide which nominee, if any, will receive the award for that year. The Mayor of Basildon will present the successful nominee with their award.
Sadly, Alf Dove died in December 2014.
