Aberyswyth wins Great Town Urbanism Award

Congratulations to Aberystwyth to winning the Great Town award from the Academy of Urbanism (AoU), for its leading work in promoting its location, economy and liveability. Key to the result swinging in Aberystwyth’s favour was the attitude judges encountered towards creating and sustaining local partnerships, exemplified by the town’s response to the storms that devastated the seafront at the beginning of 2014. Tim Challans, lead assessor for the great town award, said: “The town’s resilience in recovering from the winter storms demonstrates how its people are passionate about their home.”
