Thirsk and Malton MP, Kevin Hollinrake is delighted that Helmsley has been shortlisted, along with Chipping Norton and Colne, in the final of the Great British High Street competition. Kevin says" Helmsley is a beautiful, bustling and picturesque market town in my constituency. There are wonderful shops, cafes, pubs, hotels and other businesses based in and around the town and I have been very impressed with the social media campaign run by Helmsley in Business.HIB has involved many local people and businesses to show their support by being pictured with a ‘Helmsley supports the Great British High Street Competition’ chalk board and has been involved in many unusual events that show the unique character of the town which has boosted the profile of Helmsley and brought in many tourists. I urge my constituents to vote for Helmsley to win this prestigious award. I've voted - please vote too! Good luck Helmsley!"
