Terry Harvey - December winner
Terry Harvey, who retired in 2005, is a champion for the people - all his adult life he has helped the people in his community in a variety of ways.
He regularly attends ward forums and the safer Neighbourhood Group representing the views of the community and making sure that their concerns are resolved, working with both councillors and the police. He updates display boards on the history of the Tile Hill North estate which he started in the '50s, and attends events which promote the area.
Terry is well-respected in Tile Hill and regularly receives invitations to judge garden competitions, present medals to young children for reading, or cook at barbecues - which he carries out with great skill.
He is a very caring person and looks out for his elderly neighbours by cutting grass, delivering newspapers, changing light bulbs. He has even built a ramp for a disabled neighbour. He worked with the Young People's group to create the murals in Jardine Crescent and the boxing mural alongside the library.
He has been a member of the Massey Ferguson Running Club for almost 30 years and is a committee member and subscriptions secretary. His running days have stopped now but he offers his services as steward - putting up signs and setting out the course.
Although a stroke affected his vision it did not affect his voluntary activities - he now helps to organise outings and lunches and collect 'subs' for the Stroke Club! He also recently trained as a walk leader and conducts walks for the patients from the Medical Centre.
Terry Harvey is a very giving and caring person and fully deserves to be called a Good Citizen of Coventry.
