DOWNTON SOCIETY AWARD
From time to time the Society makes an award to properties, renovations or building projects that are deemed to have enhanced the built
environment. Three awards have been made since the scheme began - to properties in South Lane and in the Borough - and anyone (owner, resident,
architect or builder) can put forward a project for consideration. Please contact Nigel Walker on the Committee if further information is
required. (nigel.walker301@outlook.com)
AIM
To highlight the importance of retaining the character of Downton village, the Parish and its rural setting, by offering an award to
households/businesses who have retained or enhanced the quality and appearance of their property. We aim to recognise people who have put thought
and effort into an extension or upgrade of their property by using traditional materials or, by good design, have contributed to an attractive
streetscape or setting.
