STOURPORT ON SEVERN CIVIC SOCIETY BIENNIAL AWARD PROJECT 2010.
Stourport Civic Society has announced its biennial Civic Award for 2010. Sponsored by Thomas Vale Construction, the organisation’s Biennial Award is offered to encourage and recognise schemes which contribute to the quality and environment of Stourport. A sympathetic conversion or restoration, a well-designed new building, a shop front, appropriate landscaping or other improvement works can all be nominated, as well as small projects within the town’s boundaries.
The 2008 winners were Stourport Basins and Stourport Bridge. A Commendation was awarded to Orion Place, Sion Gardens.
The projects will be judged by a panel of assessors, with the successful entry receiving a commemorative plaque. There is also a commendation certificate and awards for the designer, builder and owner involved in the scheme. The award ceremony will take place at Stourport Civic Society’s AGM on Thursday May 13th 2010 and an exhibition featuring the entries will be on display in the town’s library.
Chair of the Civic Society, Pauline Annis said “We feel it is important to encourage developments and conversions which are sympathetic to the local environment and improve and enhance the appearance of the town. The people of Stourport need to have some way in which to give public recognition to good design”
The closing date for entries will be March 5th 2010.
