I wanted to vote for Tenterden but it wasn’t on your list even !!!!
Hi Michelle – there was an option for suggesting additional towns when the voting was Live, as we only had room for 8 in this year’s shortlist. But the shortlist might be different next year if enough people suggest alternative locations. And I agree Tenterden is special! Thanks for your comments and getting involved xx
