A SHOPPING centre has been presented with an award for its floral displays.

The Prince Bishops Centre, in Durham City, won the Best Kept Commercial Premises title in the annual Beautiful Durham Competition Awards - the sixth successive year it has taken the title.

Deputy mayor of Durham Councillor Geoff Lodge presented a certificate and shield to the centre to mark the achievement.

Centre manager Richard Toynbee said: "We're proud to receive the award and in receiving it, it shows that they are being noticed and giving something back to our shoppers and the residents of Durham."
