Sheila King - February winner
Sheila King has lived on the Westmorland Estate since it was built in the 1960s.
She set up a residents' association, which also included Belgrave Road. Sheila quickly became the secretary for the association, and is also the secretary for the local Neighbourhood Watch, known as BRANWA. Being an active person she met her husband of 50 years when they were both glider pilots.
Sheila was a teacher at Sidney Stringer School for many years and continued as a supply teacher. She is a former trustee for the Wyken Adventure Centre, where young people can go and experience various activities including wall climbing, but continues to offer support.
She never fails to attend meetings on behalf of the community whether it is the Police Forum, Safer Neighbourhoods, Voluntary Action or walking around the estate with a Whitefriars representative ensuring that residents' needs are met.
She loves to help her friends and the residents on the estate, continuing her work in the community, even during illness. Sheila is an inspiration to all, and truly deserves to be recognised as a Good Citizen of Coventry.
