Hythe won the South East Region Award, as part of the National Market Town Awards, for its Christmas 2007 event in the town. During the 4 Saturdays leading up to Christmas between 2pm and 4pm 12 snow machines created a ‘blizzard’ around Hythe. This has been repeated in 2008. The Christmas lights were at the end of their life but there was virtually no money in the kitty to replace them, there was a need for an innovative project that would increase footfall in Hythe during December and in particular bring in families who are shopping online and going into the nearest city.

The young people in Romsey were involved in every aspect of creating the conference, from the administration through to operational duties on the day. GIVING YOUNG PEOPLE A VOICE This is the first time that any organisation within Romsey has spoken directly to the young people of its town at length and compiled such a comprehensive report containing their views about their town and its future.

DOING IT FOR THEMSELVES Small towns from five counties in England were represented at a networking event at King John’s House in Romsey, Hampshire, on 27th November 2008. With furthest to travel, from Yorkshire, Steph Hryschko told representatives of small towns in Hampshire, Oxfordshire, Surrey and West Berkshire about her community trust’s enterprising activities in selling on eBay. As well as providing a much needed service for the community of Kiveton, a small pit village, the work brings in funding for much needed local projects, and is used to train volunteers in relevant skills. Other enterprising projects were showcased at the event, with presentations from Alton, Romsey, Hythe and Hayling Island, each of whom had received Commendations from their entries into the 2008.Action for Market Towns Awards.
