A Town Councillor for many years, he worked for improvements to the Parish Hall, the building of a Sports Hall at the Community College and the instigation of a very happy ‘Partnerschaft’with our twin town of Hamminkeln in Germany. Derrick has also done a great deal with St Edmund's church: a member of the PCC for 40 years, he has chaired both PCC and Deanery Synod, served as a church warden and was secretary of the Restoration Fund which raised the huge sum needed to repair the church roof and interior and to create a 'Welcome Room'. With Sedgefield Charities and the Rotary Club, he was instrumental in establishing the 'Pop In Club' for our older citizens. Derrick had been secretary of the Charities when there were 6 in all; he led the work to amalgamate them and later was chairman of the consolidated Charities. Always a keen singer, along with David Garrood, he was the driving force in the establishment of Sedgefield Lyric Singers.  \nHe receives an engraved glass goblet along with an illuminated scroll to honour his achievements.  \nHonorary Burgess  \nAt the same time, Cllr. John Robinson was made an Honorary Burgess of Sedgefield. Presenting the award, the Mayor said that John had been a Town Councillor for 25 years; indeed he was the youngest in the country when elected at the age of 21.  \nSince then he has been involved in many other organizations, including Sedgefield Charities, Civic Trust, Round Table, Sedgefield 2000 and more.  \nCharity number comes up  \nAfter months of hard work to produce a business plan that would stand up to the most critical scrutiny, Sedgefield Development Partnership can celebrate becoming a Registered Charity. This should open up a whole raft of new opportunities to help make things happen in Sedgefield, Bradbury & Mordon. Over the next few months, they will work to establish a firm footing with a base in the centre of town, from where they hope to reach out to other active groups, so that everyone can work together for the interestsand aspirations shared by the whole community. Next month: charitable status-the benefits it brings.  \nCurrently the secretary of the SCA, John was the prime mover in the Millennium and subsequent Jubilee Celebrations.  \nJohn said he was very surprised but delighted to receive the award, whilst his wife Maxine said it had been very difficult to keep it all secret from him. The Council is now hoping that John, as Chairman of the Finance Committee, will approve the cost of the small gift and certificate!  \nSedgefield News  \nIt’s a safe bet…you can put your money in it!  \nFriday 14th November; I was about to depart the office for my annual Christmas present buying expedition when I got a call from the Post Office staff to say the safe wouldn’t open. “I’ll come and have a look.” Ten minutes later, because the safe has a time delay mechanism, I, of course, was also unsuccessful in opening the safe. I called the engineers. Their response was to ask if we had forgotten to allow for the time delay, or inadvertently deactivated the daily over-ride. No to both.“That means an engineer will have to come out”. “Yes, that’s what I’m phoning for”.“Your call is logged at 2:12pm and an engineer will phone to let you know when h","cbCainpUoPAtpr5E","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCainpUoPAtpr5E","pdf",5949561,11,"English","# Citizen of the Year\n## Honorary Burgess\n# Charity number comes up\n# Sedgefield News","[{\"question\":\"Who received the “Citizen of the Year” award in January 2004?\",\"answer\":\"Edwin Derrick Lofthouse received the Citizen of the Year Award at the Mayor of Sedgefield’s Christmas Reception.\"},{\"question\":\"What honour was Cllr.
