Deal High Street
From more than 500 nominations made by readers of The Daily Telegraph, Deal in Kent was recently announced as the winner of its High Street of the Year award. A panel of judges, chaired by the minister for the high streets, Brandon Lewis MP, chose Deal from a shortlist as part of a year-long Daily Telegraph Reinventing the High Street campaign.
“Deal is,” the judges said, “a very good example to other struggling high streets of how an engaged local community, with support from local and national government, can match enthusiasm for their high street with good and innovative practice.”
