Fund rewards high street innovation
Local Growth Minister Mark Prisk announces that 7 towns will receive a share of the £1 million High Street Renewal Award.
Communities in 7 towns across the country are being recognised for the innovative ways in which they have revitalised their high streets, Local Growth Minister Mark Prisk said on Saturday.
The minister said the 7 towns, which will receive a share of the £1 million High Street Renewal Award, are an example to communities across the country of what can be done to breathe new life into their high streets.
Judged by a panel of experts including Martin Blackwell from the Association of Town and City Management and Andy Godfrey from Alliance Boots, the towns were chosen for the innovative ideas they implemented, the results they achieved and their ability to promote good practice.
