MALVERN Civic Society is putting a final call out for entries to its Civic Award, which recognises buildings, old or new, that add something special to the area.

The award was set up to recognise excellence in newly-designed or restored properties in the town, and to honour the architects, builders, and craftsman who did the work.

John Dixon of the society said: “The winner will receive a small plaque which has become highly regarded by Malvern’s builders and developers. It may also present the opportunity for some publicity, if desired.

“The Civic Award has been running for over 20 years now. Last year’s nominations included one newly-built development, two renovations of large Victorian houses, and three quite radical renovations which completely changed the character of the original buildings. The winner was Elmslie House on Avenue Road. In 2015, the Civic Award was made to Malvern Link railway station.”

For a building to be eligible, work on the property must have been finished before December 31, 2016. To make a nomination, contact Mr Dixon on vicechair3@malverncivicsociety.org.uk or 01684 574144 before March 31,
