THE Home Secretary has thrown her support behind a campaign to get Twyford named as the country’s best village high street.
Theresa May, the MP for Maidenhead, has called on local residents to vote for the village in the Great British High Street awards, which Twyford has been named as a finalist for.
The village is competing against Brigg, in Lincolnshire, and West Kilbride, in North Ayrshire, for the crown of best village high street, after being nominated by the Twyford Village Partnership earlier in the year.
Mrs May said: “It’s fantastic that Twyford has been named as one of the finalists in the Great British High Street awards, meaning that it has already been judged as one of the best high streets in the country.
“This is a great achievement and is a tribute to our local shops, businesses, community groups and others who work hard to support the high street. Now I hope that local residents will vote online as it would be great to see Twyford named as the overall winner.”
