Nominations for the 2004 Ledbury Design Award must be at the town council offices in Church Lane no later than March 12.

The aims of the award, under the chairmanship of Bob Wreford, are to recognise and encourage works which have made a significant contribution to the environmental improvement of Ledbury.

The award also exists to recognise and publicise the efforts of anyone who has contributed to the quality of the parish, be they a private house owner, architect, developer, builder or craftsperson.

To be eligible for this year's award, the nominated buildings or restorations must have been completed by the end of 2003.

The winners' certificates will be handed out at the annual town meeting on Thursday, April 22.
