* Section 249 of the Local Government Act 1972 as amended by the Local Democracy, Economic Development and Construction Act 2009 allows a relevant authority to admit to be honorary freemen or honorary freewomen of the place or area for which it is the authority: a. Persons of distinction, and b. Persons who have, in the opinion of the authority, rendered eminent service to that place or area. Granting the Freedom is the highest honour that Nettleham Parish Council can bestow. Although it carries no privileges, those who receive the honour may use the title of Freeman or Freewoman. As this is the highest honour that the Council can grant it should be used sparingly in order to preserve its status and value.
