Who gets your vote as Jesmond's "local hero"?

Who is the person that sums up Jesmond for you? Who are the people that encapsulate what Jesmond is, or should be all about? Who are Jesmond’s “local heroes” – without whom it would be a much less interesting, vibrant and enjoyable place to live and work?

We want to hear your nominations – and once they’re all in, a team of JesmondLocal writers, photographers and film-makers will be despatched to meet and interview them so that we can celebrate their contributions in a multimedia gallery of Jesmond’s “local heroes”.

Nominate your Jesmond “local hero” by adding a comment below or email editor@jesmondlocal.com with your suggestions.
