Local JPs Praised For ‘Service, Commitment And Loyalty’
LOCAL magistrates were among Cheshire’s longest serving JPs honoured in a ceremony at Chester Crown Court on Wednesday (March 15) when awarded special certificates in acknowledgement of their commitment.
More than 60 JPs from the six benches of Chester, Ellesmere Port and Neston, Halton, Warrington, Vale Royal, Macclesfield and South Cheshire were congratulated on their “long service, commitment and loyalty” by Judge Elgan Edwards, the Lord Lieutenant Mr William Bromley Davenport and Councillor Barrie Hardern, Chairman of Cheshire County Council.
A total of 82 magistrates have qualified for the commendations and for each it is a recognition of more than 20 years service - a combined total of more than two thousand years service to the Crown and community.
The certificates are an innovation introduced by Lord Falconer, the Lord Chancellor and Lord Phillips, the Lord Chief Justice.
Cheshire has a total of 481 magistrates and, along with the rest of England and Wales, has been encouraged by the Department for Constitutional Affairs to increase its numbers by up to 25 percent.
The presentation ceremony is also being used as a call to younger members of the community to consider the role as a local magistrate for the future. Magistrates can be recruited as young as 18 while the upper age limit for appointment is 65.
Those interested in taking on the role of magistrate or who wish to know more can find information in three ways:

The first of a series of three civic Christian services of celebration and thanksgiving for the success of Cheshire’s schools and pupils has been planned this month (March).
Designed to “honour and celebrate the achievements of schools and pupils in Cheshire”, the first at Chester Cathedral was held on Tuesday evening (March 14th), another followed at Nantwich Parish Church on Thursday (March 16th) with the third thanksgiving is planned for Macclesfield Parish Church next week (Thursday March 23rd).
The three services are identical in content but the community input from school musicians, songsters and readers differs at the three compass points of the county.
Common to all three celebrations is a word of encouragement from the Chairman of Cheshire County Council, Barrie Hardern. He told the Chester congregation of his sense of humility when he viewed the ‘effort, expertise and commitment’ found in the county’s schools both public and independent and in its institutions of further and higher education.
He said: “It is you – the young people, teachers and governors - who are the guests of honour. It is here in the younger generation that the future of our county and country lies, the future of the environment, future prosperity, a free and fair society and indeed our future happiness”. /more
A joint welcome was also made by Canon Christopher Birkett and the address was by The Rt Rev David Urquhart, Bishop of Birkenhead and chairman of the Chester Diocesan Board of Education.
Bible readings were contributed by pupils and teachers and Zoe Dean from Bishop Heber School, Malpas read a poem “This Is How It Will Be” especially written by Cheshire’s poet laureate Andrew Rudd.
The service featured a range of traditional hymns while Blacon High School Swing Band delighted the congregation with more contemporary music including “Rock Around the Clock”. |
