THE public has spoken and voted Tops Hair Salon, Melksham’s ‘Best Looking Business’ for autumn 2015.
The award was created by Melksham Town Team to recognise the special effort businesses make with their shop displays and general appearance.
Mayor of Melksham, cllr Terri Welch said, “I’m absolutely delighted to present the award to Tops Hair Salon. It is wonderful that the businesses in our town make such an effort to keep their premises smart and well presented.
“Tops won the award because the public appreciate that Tops is clean and attractive, bright and fresh and the staff are welcoming, friendly and polite.”
Manager Vicky Stephens said, “We are very happy to have won the award and we would like to say thank you to all the people that voted for us.
“We’ve been here for 37 years and have always tried to keep the salon looking clean and fresh. It’s important because it contributes to making the town a lovely place to visit.”
The new Mind charity shop on Church Street came second and in third place was Two Little Ducks on Bank Street.
Belle of the Ball Bridals and The Samovar also received a lot of nominations, with Komix, Procol, Waitrose, Nine Volt Leap, the Tourist Information Centre and Bewleys Funeral Care also being nominated.
The town council will be running a ‘Best Christmas Window Display Competition’ in December, which is a separate annual award, and the Town Team’s ‘Best Looking Business’ award will resume in the spring.
