Karen Gibson of Haverhill remembers when Lewis was
a young lad. Karen used to live in Stevenage and she was a neighbour of
Lewis and his family.
She remembers them well particularly Lewis’s father who she said hadn’t
changed a bit. “They were a nice family and we liked them a lot, in fact
Lewis asked my niece out for a date - unfortunately she refused.”
“We never thought that the family would become rich and famous one day
- if we had I don’t think my niece would have refused that offer of a
date with Lewis!” Karen now lives in Haverhill with her husband and two
sons.
St Edmundsbury Borough Council has earned praise for its green credentials after winning a coveted silver rating in recognition of its environmental performance.
The Borough was handed the rating in the East of England Environmental Index. The award sponsored by the East of England Development Agency (EEDA), has allowed the council to compare its performance to other organisations in the eastern region, and of the public sector bodies which entered the Borough Council came top.
In the overall ratings, St Edmundsbury’s performance also matched that of large corporations such as Ford Motor Company and Speedy Hire Plc. The assessment was examined by a judging panel, which gave it an overall rating of more than 80% compared to the average of 68%.
