Dear Sir,

There is a local Aycliffe man, called Don Hallimond, who has been noticed and recognised for going above and beyond for the residents of Newton Aycliffe.

Don delivers medication for Neville Pharmacy, keeping people safe at home during these difficult times as well as for those who are vulnerable.

Some have commented on Don as “the lovely tablet man”, while others describe him as “a lovely gentleman”, other words used to describe him were, “an absolute gentleman, always polite and friendly”, and “our lockdown hero” over 100 comments on a local Facebook page congratulating him for just simply being his amazing self.
