Enter Britain’s TOP award for town projects

By Katie Fewings • Jan 26th, 2012 • Category: Lead

The 2012 Action for Market Towns National Awards are a chance for you to shout from the rooftops about the work you are doing in your town and to inspire other towns.

Be bold, loud, and proud about your achievements! The awards offer recognition for the innovation and creative ideas which many small towns are using to survive and to thrive – ideas which could be implemented to help other towns, villages and high streets.

The Awards cover England, Wales and Scotland and are now open for entries until Friday 23rd March 2012.
