A HAUGHTON Green community campaigner has been recognised for her work by receiving a Citizen’s Award from MP Andrew Gwynne.
Cathy Newton has dedicated her life to making sure the area of Denton makes the most of what it has – and is not afraid to sing its praises.
And after founding the Forever Green group, she was given the accolade by the Denton and Reddish parliamentarian.
Helping organise numerous events in the community, supporting the village’s food bank and getting involved with things like litter picks was not enough.
For she has also secured the installation of four lifesaving defibrillators across the Denton South area.
Andrew Gwynne said “Cathy is a credit to the community, a renowned campaigner and volunteer who always puts the area, and the people that live here, first.”
