Geoff Sewards - October winner
Geoff Sewards' sole objective has been to serve the people of Finham, which he has done tirelessly with efficiency, enthusiasm and objectivity. With his extensive knowledge, expertise and experience in dealing with both councillors and officers he has resolved several issues.
He has always kept in touch with local issues and with his ear constantly to the ground he has proved invaluable to councillors, helping them to serve the residents of Finham. It is nearly all due to him that the Finham Residents' Association is one of the most highly regarded residents' groups in the city. Indeed, he has been their Secretary for 34 years.
In all his public work, for the Residents' Association, as a school governor, as Chairman of the Coventry School Governors' Association and as an election candidate and party official, Geoff has never looked for any personal reward or recognition, but has worked purely for the good of others.
For his selfless and tireless work for the community in Finham, Geoff Sewards deserves the accolade of being a Coventry Good Citizen.
