Coleraine shortlisted as High Street of the Year

Nearly ten thousand shoppers and customers across Northern Ireland have cast their vote and chosen their High Street Heroes in a range of categories over the past four weeks.

The awards will see old favourites battle new faces in a bid to become the ‘High Street Hero’ of their respective category.

Ballymoney, Newtownards and Coleraine have been shortlisted for the High Street of the Year with Wardens Newtownards, Couple Fashion Coleraine, and Winsome Lady Fashion in Ballymoney making the shortlist for Independent Retailer of the Year.

CBID manager, Jamie Hamill said:
"This is fabulous news for the Coleraine. The team at Coleraine BID had faith that the thousands of town users would support the historic market town this year.

"Our high street heroes’ summer programme could not have tied in any better with Retail NI’s 2022 awards and with thousands of posts, shares and comments on social channels supporting the North Coast town.

"Now being shortlisted as a NI High Street of the year finalist is a reason to celebrate all of the amazing Coleraine businesses and staff who go the extra mile every day. We will continue to work together to make our town even better.

"I would also like to take this opportunity to congratulate Couples on being shortlisted for 'Overall Independent Retailer."

"On behalf of all the town centre businesses, thank you to everyone who voted for Coleraine!"
