Super to see some hometown pride in this interesting and topical story. Nicely written upbeat story in downbeat times.
Competition Comment:
The impact of Covid on the business community - and hence the community as a whole - is clear to see in these entries. It's always good to have business stories near the front of the paper - many of these entries show a clear nose for news with a business bent, coloured with lively writing that humanizes the topic.
