Team GB's cycling director has been offered the freedom of a Derbyshire borough in recognition of his achievements at London 2012. <\/p>\n
Dave Brailsford, who lives in Ilkeston, has been credited with masterminding the cycling team's 12 medals at the Olympics. <\/p>\n
The honour also recognises his role in Bradley Wiggins's Tour de France win. <\/p>\n
Erewash Borough Council has only ever presented the award once, to the Mercian Regiment in 2007. <\/p>\n
Councillor Chris Corbett, the leader of the authority, said: \"On behalf of all the residents of Erewash, we want to show Dave how proud we are of his and his team's success. <\/p>\n
\"A freedom of the borough award is very rarely bestowed on anyone and must only be awarded to someone who has achieved something outstanding.\" <\/p>\n
If Mr Brailsford, who was born in Derby but grew up in north Wales, accepted the honour he will receive an ornate scroll and casket and a medal. <\/p>\n
Mr Corbett said he expected unanimous support for the move when it goes to a vote at a meeting in October. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
