NOMINATIONS for Halifax's best regeneration schemes are being sought for the town's civic trust awards.
Halifax Civic Trust is asking residents to name their favourite building, landscaping and environmental projects for its 19th annual awards.

Work should have been largely carried out during last year, making a significant improvement to the town or surrounding countryside.

Nominated sites will be visited by the trust, and the winners will be announced at its annual general meeting on April 29 at Halifax Town Hall.

Last year's winners were the restoration of Somerset House, Halifax, and Wainhouse Tower at King Cross, Halifax. Past winners have included the Dean Clough mill conversion in 1995, the £2.5 million People's Park restoration in 2002, and the roofing of Westgate Arcade in 2007, with many smaller projects also recognised.

Successful sites are marked with a green oval plaque, which is dated and inscribed with a description of the project.

Schemes must fall within the former County Borough of Halifax to be eligible – between Luddenden in the west, Northowram and Southowram in the east, Copley in the south and Ogden in the north.

To make a nomination, contact trust secretary June Paxton-White on 01422 834448.

The New Hellfire Stand at the Shay.

In the vain hope that he might one day see it.

Rhanks red penner, yer never learn.
Try putting CMBC on this list, come the Elections we may see a rejuvenated Council?
Yer know, a Cabinet that becomes visible and actually does something itself, like consulting those we have elected.
Leadership that leads instead of allowing the officers to drive through their dead end ideas. A CE that lives up to his word and keeps in mind he is employed not to make decisions our Council should make.
There you are Red Penner - delete and I will rewrite!

I nominate the library and Northgate House. Fine modern architecture, made of ancient traditional materials, fitting in to the town centre environment, and creating a town centre square.

Pity they didn't rebuild the Moot Hall. Put the Councilors in to answer the Electorates questions (the door being locked so they couldn't escape of course).
