Commenting on his fellow campaigner's achievements, Lembit Öpik said:
"For many years, Heather has tirelessly campaigned on important local issues and it is great that this Grassroots award finally recognizes the extensive work she has done to make a real difference to people's lives.
"I am a great fan of Heather's and I have particular admiration for her work on housing issues. It is extremely encouraging that over 400 people now have homes because of her work.
