The Great British High Street Award judges visit Bridgnorth today

The town is listed as a finalist in the Large Market Town category and faces competition from Hinckley and Market Harborough in Leicestershire.

The judging panel is made up of industry leaders from across retail, property and business.

The winning High Street will be decided by the judges and also an online public vote.

If successful, Bridgnorth, will win a share of the cash prize pot, and dedicated support and mentoring from industry experts which could range from one to one coaching to advice on digital marketing.

Now in its 3rd year, the competition celebrates the great work that is being done to revive, adapt and diversify the nation’s high streets and is an opportunity for councils, businesses, community groups and volunteers to learn from the very best.

Last year’s competition saw a record-breaking 230 entries and attracted over 200,000 public votes, with Bishy Road in York, a former finalist, crowned Britain’s best. The competition is designed to help revitalise high streets by promoting the great work that is being done and sharing good ideas across the country.
