Poll: Which large town is the most beautiful? Vote below!

Jo Haywood Reporter from Homed

Hi neighbours! The judges from the Beautiful Awards, run by Keep New Zealand Beautiful, are keen to find out who you would pick as the most beautiful NZ town - out of the two finalists below.

The two towns have been picked as they demonstrate sustainable and environmentally conscious behaviours across key areas, such as litter prevention & waste minimisation, community beautification, recycling projects and sustainable tourism.

Have you heard of the Beautiful Awards? they celebrate environmental excellence and recognise positive actions taken by communities, businesses, schools, individuals and councils, in local and urban areas to protect and enhance their local environments

Note: this poll runs externally from the Beautiful Awards and responses will not be included in the judging process.
