THE winner of this year's best-dressed shop window in Huntingdon is Corika, the fashion store in the High Street.

The second prize also went to a clothes shop, GIA in Chequers Court and third place went to last year's trophy winners, Parsley Pot, also in the High Street.

The winner of the best non-retail window, sponsored by Huntingdon Town Centre Partnership, was Pinx hairdressers in George Street.

The competition is organised by Huntingdon Town Council with prizes of cheques valued £100, £50 and £25 made out to the charities of the winners' choice, due to be presented tonight (Wednesday) at a reception after the council's annual Civic Carol Service at the Commemoration Hall.

Mayor of Huntingdon, Councillor Jennifer Sarabia, said: "Shops in the town have made the best effort ever this year to brighten up the High Street with festive cheer. There was a strong traditional theme this year using Christmas trees and some imaginative effort to co-ordinate shop frontage colour with the displays.
