Sefton Council are committed to achieving high quality design within the borough’s built environment. We recognise that good design is central to achieving sustainable development by creating quality places and stimulating investment.
Sefton Council recognises that there are many examples of good design within the borough and feel that the time is right to celebrate the best of these. We will therefore be holding an inaugural design awards competition across several categories, each of which are important in their own right.
