The annual Countryside Alliance Awards are now open to public nomination, with Burnley and Padiham’s MP urging the local community to get nominating.
The Countryside Alliance Awards, nicknamed the ‘Rural Oscars’, were borne of a need to support and promote rural communities.
They celebrate people going the extra mile to ensure that rural Britain’s food and farming industry, small businesses, traditional skills, forward-thinking enterprises and, most of all, its people, can flourish.
Antony Higginbotham MP commented:
These awards are an excellent way to promote the local businessmen and women who are working hard to keep rural Britain thriving. The landlords and landladies of our rural pubs, the village shops, our local farmers or the best butcher in town.
There are so many I can think of across Burnley and Padiham worthy of national recognition, so please do get involved and nominate one today. Let’s see if we can bring a British title home and tell a positive story about our area.
The Awards run across the following categories:
- Local Food Award
- Village shop/ Post Office Award
- Rural Enterprise Award
- Butcher Award
