be given the accolade at a special award ceremony in the council chamber ahead of last night’s full council meeting.</div><div><br></div><div>The father-of-two, said: “I feel incredibly fortunate and very honoured.</div><div><br></div><div>“I don’t consider what I’ve done to be massively important.</div><div><br></div><div>“I haven’t saved someone’s life. I’ve just helped people keep in touch about things in Oldham and tried to make where we live a better place.</div><div><br></div><div>“I would hope others would want to do the same.</div><div><br></div><div>“To me that’s nothing special and is the way you should live your life.”</div><div><br></div><div>He added: “It may sound strange but I was a little nervous about addressing the council but I’m very pleased with the honour.”</div><div><br></div><div>Dave, who was born in Fallowfield, Manchester, moved to Oldham aged 22.</div><div><br></div><div>He took up a teaching

terms with that, the radio was fantastic for me.</div><div><br></div><div>“It meant I had to stop thinking about what I was doing and think about someone else.”</div><div><br></div><div>He added: “I accept this award on behalf of all the other volunteers who have worked at both stations over the years.</div><div><br></div><div>“I don’t do this by myself.
