Stromness THI up for regeneration award

The Stromness Townscape Heritage Initiative (THI) – a five-year project by Orkney Islands Council to enhance the historic centre of Stromness – has been shortlisted for an independent regeneration award.

The Stromness THI is one of three projects shortlisted in the Town Centre Regeneration category of the 2013 SURF Awards for Best Practice in Community Regeneration.

The Stromness THI has been under way in the Stromness Conservation Area since July 2009, and will finish in June 2014.
