The 38 shortlisted high streets will now battle it out in a public vote, which accounts for 30 per cent of the final scoring, and will then have the chance to impress an expert judging panel as they seek to be crowned Britain’s best.
Great British High Street judges will be conducting visits to each high street throughout September and October. Their marks account for 70 per cent of the overall vote.
Bangor's High Street is the longest
It has been officially named as Wales' longest high street - but that does not mean it is Wales' busiest.
According to Ordnance Survey, Bangor's High Street in Gwynedd has shops covering 1,265m - on a street which stretches 1.75km (one mile).
But figures show nearly one in five shops are vacant in the city centre.
Businesses and community groups are now being invited to bid for a slice of £2m in funding - in the hope they can breathe new life into the area.
The money is part of Gwynedd council's successful bid for funding from the Welsh Government's targeted regeneration investment programme.
The scheme in Bangor will support building owners and occupiers to enhance shop fronts - especially those that are currently empty.
Question:
If Bangor is getting funding then how about Neath?
