The 2010 Civic Trust Awards attracted over 330 entries and winning projects demonstrating excellence in design whilst offering a cultural, social or economic benefit to the local community.
Civic Trust Awards Managing Director, Malcolm Hankey said “we were delighted to see such a diverse range of projects submitted for consideration.
