A series of posts related to the Mary Portas report have featured here.
Today was the announcement of the 10 towns which will get the first lot of funding to develop their projects. Apparently over 350 towns applied for the cash...



The winning bids announced are: 
Bedford, Bedfordshire
Croydon, Greater London
Dartford, Kent
Bedminster, Bristol
Liskeard, Cornwall
Margate, Kent
Market Rasen, Lincolnshire
Nelson. Lancashire
Newbiggin by the Sea, Northumberland
Stockport, Greater Manchester

No Norfolk winners unfortunately..
Perhaps students could be put in groups and allocated a town.
What has been suggested for each town ? Which one is closest to your home town ? Which ideas do you think would work in your home town ?
