Freedom of the Town for Keith Blackburn Seaford Town Council was pleased to announce at a council meeting in February that Mr Keith Blackburn had been awarded Freedom of the Town. By invitation of the Mayor, Cllr Nazish Adil, a service was held on Saturday 23rd November at St Leonard’s Church to honour and present to Mr Blackburn a Freedom of the Town Medal and Scroll. The ceremony was a celebration of his dedication and service to the town. The service was led by the Mayor’s Chaplain, Rev’d Arwen Folkes and Rev’d Paul Owen. Invited guests who attended included: the Deputy Lieutenant of East Sussex, Mrs Juliet Smith JP; the High Sheriff of East Sussex, Mrs Violet Hancock and her husband Mr Tim Hancock; the Sergeant at Mace, Mr Peter White; Honorary Freeman of the Town, Mr Laurie Holland; Young Mayor James Jenkins; Deputy Young Mayor Chanel Pritchard; the Town Clerk, James Corrigan; past mayors, councillors, colleagues; friends and family. A buffet reception was held following the service at The View at Seaford Head, where the Pop Up Singers provided entertainment. The Town Council awards the honour of Freedom of the Town to a person in recognition of the efforts of members of the community who demonstrate outstanding commitment to the wellbeing of Seaford. The Town Council only does this in special circumstances that meet the criteria within its adopted policy, by awarding to an individual the title of Honorary Freeman/Freewoman of Seaford. This honour is awarded only on rare and exceptional occasions. Keith joins this esteemed group of people who include: current Freeman of the Town, Mr Laurie Holland, and the late Don Mabey MBE, who were both awarded 8 Please mention Seaford Scene when contacting advertisers in 2012; the 210 (Sussex) Field Squadron RE (TA) awarded in 1959; The Duke of Richmond and the Rt Hon William Pitt (The Younger) in 1789. Keith has dedicated hundreds of hours of voluntary time to helping make Seaford a greener and more pleasant town to live in. He is Chairman of the Tree Wardens, which has included ‘hands-on’ tree planting of more than 1,400 trees, interreacting with businesses and community groups, individuals and Seaford Town Council, fundraising and organising and participating in public meetings. He was a key catalyst in developing, commissioning and handing over control of the much loved Shoal Bench near Splash Point. Keith has also been the Chairman of the Neighbourhood Plan Steering group, which aims to protect greenfield sites and decide where new housing can be built – this has ensured that brownfield sites have been identified. It will also ensure that Seaford receives 10% more Community Interest Levy (CIL) funding which is worth tens of thousands of pounds to the Town. He is also Chair of the Natural History Society, and a Board Member of Impact Seaford. Keith is quoted as saying: ‘It is a great honour to be a Freeman of Seaford, especially as it is a recognition of the value of volunteers working closely on projects with the Town Council. A lot can be achieved by partnership working. If you have secretarial, IT, project management, financial or practical skills and would like to volunteer to help with a project to make Seaford an even better place to live, work and relax, please contact keithblackburn@live.co.uk.
