Town Pride Awards

The results of this year’s Town Pride Awards were announced at the meeting of the Margate Civic Society held in the prestigious Walpole Bay Hotel on Thursday, 7th May.

Nine properties were judged for the 2009 Town Pride Awards as having enhanced the built environment. The number of nominations received indicates a growing awareness amongst the Society’s members of the major contribution that both renovation of often run-down properties and the erection of well-designed new properties make to the overall attractiveness of our town.
