\nFrom the moment the Judges arrived in this very attractive town, they were impressed. They heard a top-class presentation in a lovely community arts facility and visited numerous places and projects. This town has a strong partnership approach between community and sporting organisations, businesses, voluntary bodies and the local councils of two counties, with an excellent town team. The inclusion of all diverse groupings of residents is very obvious and judges were impressed with their visit to the excellent day-care facility, community tourist office and the fantastic traveller project. After an impressive visit, the judges will continue to watch the development of this town on its journey as a great place to live, work and visit.<\/p>\n
