Is Your High Street Britain’s Best?

Last year’s competition saw over 230 entries and nearly 200,000 votes for the 21 high street finalists, and this year’s event aims to be even bigger with new categories to enter.

Alongside the competition, the High Street Pledge is seeking signatories to help grow Britain’s high streets and the job opportunities they offer.

Marcus Jones, high streets minister said, “With a record number of entries and 200,000 public votes cast, last year’s competition was a massive success. This year’s Great British High Streets Competition is going to be even bigger and better, with new categories and a simplified entry form. I’d urge everyone to get involved to showcase the hard work of your community, in keeping high streets the life and soul of our towns, villages and cities.”
