A Kent high street is calling for shoppers to support its bid to be crowned Britain's best.

The Pantiles in Tunbridge Wells has been named among the top three shopping areas in the country, but it needs help in a public vote.

With one week to go before polling closes, the final rankings released by the Great British High Street Competition has revealed that Claygate and Hoole have overtaken the Kent shopping precinct.

The public vote makes up 50% of the final decision, with industry experts also having their say.

High Streets Minister, Andrew Percy, said: “Over 300,000 votes have been cast in the competition so far, proving that people are passionate about their high streets up and down the country.

“Tunbridge Wells did fantastically well to make it into the final three, but now every vote counts and they need an extra push to get them title of Britain’s best high street.”

The Great British High Street Competition 2016 celebrates work to revive, adapt and diversify the nation’s high streets.

It is one of a number of initiatives to help champion high streets as the cornerstones of the community. This year’s competition saw a record 900 entries.
