Welcome to the March edition of Broxbourne Council's E-newsletter.
The Borough of Broxbourne Awards 2024 winners were announced on Thursday 29 February. The event focuses on recognising the great people of the Borough, who work tirelessly to provide support for others and make such an impact on people's lives. I would like to congratulate all the winners for your ever continued support.
The annual Generation Broxbourne event took place on 6 March 2024. The event allows students of secondary schools and colleges to speak to businesses and learn what opportunities are available to them in the future. It was fantastic to see so many students taking advantage of the event.
