Former councillor set to receive civic award
A FORMER councillor could be set to receive a special civic award.

He was made an honorary alderman in 1995.
Elected in 1976 for Leesland ward, Mr O’Neill served for 12 years and went on to be mayor in 1986/1987.
Councillors will decide whether to award the honour on Wednesday.
