IMMINGHAM celebrated a winning night at its annual awards event.

The Immingham Awards Night 2012 paid tribute to many of the town's residents.

The celebration was held at the Civic Centre in Pelham Road and many of the awards were present by the Immingham Town Mayor, Neil Castle.

He said: "This is a fantastic evening that really brings people together.

"Immingham has done really well this year and none of it would have been possible without the community in the town.

"People here deserve a celebration after what has been achieved.

"The centenary celebrations have been a big part of our success this year alongside the In Bloom award and the skate park. I would like to thank everyone who has made it all happen and especially ABP for everything they have done and having such a great port open day."

Two of the main awards of the evening were the Immingham Town Council's Civic Awards, which were present to Pauline Haw and Nobby Styles.

Mrs Haw raises money for various charities by holding regular table-top sales and putting on entertainment evenings.

The 69-year-old said: "I just do things for people that is all, I didn't expect this.

"I just like helping people and I don't really like the attention but I am truly honoured to receive the award.

"I brought four generations of my family with me to celebrate and it is good to see everyone having a good night."

Mr Styles said: "I do a lot for the Workers' Memorial Day, which is held on April 28 every year.

"I help raise awareness for safety in the work place. I am honoured to accept the award and it is nice to be recognised and although it is for me, I am accepting on behalf of all the families affected by someone who has died in the workplace."

The Community Project Of The Year Award went to the Imm-Spiration skate park in Homestead Park.

The award was presented to both Josh Taylor, on behalf of all the young people in the town, and Mayor Councillor Neil Castle, who represented the town council, by chairman Elaine Norton, from community group One Voice.

She said: "It has been a real joint effort between the young people in Immingham, the town council and One Voice.

"That is why I am awarding it to Josh and he is awarding it to the council.

"The project really would never have got off the ground without everyone putting in a lot of hard work.

"It has been a team effort and everyone should be congratulated."

During the evening there were also awards for the winners of the Immingham In Bloom competition.

The winner of the best street category went to Alderney Way.

Resident Mary Clark added: "A lot of work went in and the community in the street really came together."
