The 21 finalists for the Department for Communities and Local Government’s Great British High Streets Competition have now been announced across the competition’s seven categories.
The finalists now have the opportunity to impress an expert judging panel and battle it out in the public vote to be crowned Britain’s best. Winners in each category will receive expert training and tailor-made tips from Google’s training taskforce for 100 of their high street’s shops, bars and restaurants.
High Streets Minister, Marcus Jones said: “The local high street is the life and soul of many towns, villages and cities across the country and these awards are a great opportunity to not only celebrate those that are the best of the best, but also to help others learn their valuable tips for success.”
Three finalists have been announced for each category and have gone through to the public vote. The categories are: city, coastal communities, local centre, London, market town, town centre and village.
