Countryside Awards  

Aylesbury MP David Lidington is urging the local community to get involved in the sixth annual Countryside Alliance Awards, which are now open to public nomination.   Everyone who supports rural businesses, produce, and communities is strongly encouraged to nominate their favourites, and to help the South of England claim another national title. The Awards, nicknamed the ‘Rural Oscars', are the Countryside Alliance's celebration of communities, produce, enterprise, and rural heritage.   Voted for by the public, they applaud those who routinely go the extra mile for their community, and who help to promote rural life.   In the Awards' five years the South of England has taken two national titles and won three commendations, meaning it is in second place on the Awards Leader Board out of the 12 competing regions.
