Always nice to have a bit of external recognition for the hard work that goes on to make Levenshulme a better place and Inspire is a well-deserved target, so I was pleased to learn that they recently won the prestigious regeneration award at the 2011 RICS (Royal Institution of Chartered Suveyors) North West Awards. The scheme was up against a number of much bigger projects such at Liverpool Lime Street Station Gateway, the Chips building in East Manchester and the Northern Quarter’s Smithfield Market and it beat them all to take the prize.
The judges highlighted the fact that Inspire has been “driven from the heart of the community through the sheer will, tenacity and hard work of the people who dreamed of seeing their grand design become a vibrant and inclusive reality”. I’d like to add my own congratulations to the Inspire team and thank them for not only providing such a valuable resource but working as hard as they do to make sure the centre is well used and reflects the needs of our community.
