There are many community-minded citizens who go the extra mile to help improve Boston, and the search is on again to find one to honour with the annual Robert Lauberts Award.
Rob, a hard-working supporter of Boston in Bloom, died in 2015 after a short battle with cancer.
He worked tirelessly alongside his wife, Rachel, on improvements to Boston, especially the revamp of Custom House Quay and the garden at the Geoff Moulder Leisure Complex. He was also the enthusiastic chairman of Main Ridge East Placecheck Group, secretary of Boston Greenscapers, chairman of Boston Big Local Boosting Local Economy Group and chairman of Boston Community Forum. He was driven in his volunteering efforts by a passion to make Boston a better place to live.
Winners of the engraved cup presented by Rob’s widow, Rachel, in his memory, have been Rodney Bowles and last year (2017) Peter DesForges for his hard work and dedication to Witham Way Country Park
