WINNERS!!! Karen Stringer of Wyre Borough Council and Paul McGrath and Emma Bailie being congratulated by Chair of Judging Panel Michael Weedon of BIRA and R&T’s Mark Barnes
“There has never been a more important time for all sizes of towns and city districts, and their independent businesses, to reach out and use the variety of digital tools now on offer. Revive & Thrive have assembled an impressive “town centric services” toolbox. By offering this as a prize, R&T have galvanised many towns into showing what they currently are proud of and what they might achieve with a little extra help. I look forward to being inspired in my role as part of the judging panel.” Guy Douglas, ATCM Programme Manager – Digital High Street

The aim is to define a challenge for town, cities & communities that will be a worthwhile exercise even for those who are not short-listed.
The Historic Towns Forum recognises the value this could have for our communities with successful retail and a revived high street being of particular interest to them at this time. See Supporters page for more information
With the high street and retail at the core of our final prize, the winning town or city will receive an exciting array of training, expertise and necessary tools as well as relevant goods and services to create a connected and engaged community. The winner will also be used as a template for using a commercial approach to supporting our town centres for others to follow and enjoy the increased national profile that this will deliver.
