15 Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent residents have been recognised in the New Year's Honours List.
Among them are Dr Chandra Mohan Kanneganti from Stoke-on-Trent, who is made a CBE for his services to General Practice and Kenneth Newton from Stafford who is made an OBE for services to public service as Governing Governor.
Alan White, Leader of Staffordshire County Council, said:
"It’s wonderful to see so many Staffordshire residents recognised for their hard work and commitment to their communities in His Majesty the King’s Honours List.
"They have again demonstrated that this county is a place where our residents can make a considerable contribution to the lives of others, whether this is through their own expertise or by volunteering to make a difference.
"We’d like to congratulate local government colleagues Dr Chandra Kanneganti, Roger Lees and Abi Brown for their honours."
Mr Ian Dudson CBE, HM Lord-Lieutenant of Staffordshire, said:
"Once again His Majesty’s Honours recognise those who contribute to our communities in a significant way, either through professional achievements, or voluntary work. The theme of these awards is ‘giving’ and we are delighted that local individuals are recognised for their fundraising and for selflessly giving their time and support to important causes.
"I send my warmest congratulations to them and thank them, on His Majesty’s as well as my own behalf, for their outstanding contribution."
