2008 Neighbourhood Award winners announced
A total of 45 community groups were presented with Neighbourhood Award certificates at the Annual Beautiful Scotland seminar in The Albert Hall, Stirling on 10th November 2008.
The Neighbourhood Awards are a non-competitive initiative designed to give support and recognition to community groups across Scotland. All entrants were assessed over the summer on how they have addressed fundraising and community involvement, the introduction of flowers, trees and shrubs to public open spaces, the absence of litter, dog fouling and graffiti and whether any consideration had been given to biodiversity and waste issues.
All entrants were awarded a Certificate of Improvement, Merit, Outstanding Achievement or Participation at the seminar. A full list of winners can be found on the list of Neighbourhood award winners
Beautiful Scotland is a programme of Keep Scotland Beautiful and is run by an Advisory Group consisting of representatives of entrant groups, judges, and relevant national organisations.
