The Towns Alive Awards are Britain's most prestigious awards for town / community improvement projects. 2013's awards attracted inspirational entries from across the UK.
Towns have come up with ideas for schemes that are creating social and economic capital, generating footfall, supporting their businesses, and providing fantastic new facilities.
AMT Towns Alive announced the category winners within each region of the awards in July 2013 and the Regional Winners, the CCLA Town Trailblazer Award Winner, and the Overall National Winner of the 2013 Awards on 6 November 2013.
Winning projects came from towns of all sizes - what they have in common is a can-do attitude. The projects are making a real impact in their local communities.
The overall winner for 2013 is Cardigan-based 4CG Cymru and the CCLA Town Trailblazer Winner is Ossett Observer.
Other regional and category winners came from towns including Northallerton, Rochdale, Sevenoaks, Henley, Lancing, Henfield, Rochford, Braintree, Beccles, Altrincham, Leek, Bloxwich, the south Lake District, Aberystwyth, Cardigan Bay, Blaenau Ffestiniog, and Welshpool.
