FIVE Hambleton towns, including Easingwold, Northallerton and Thirsk, are competing to be crowned High Street of the Year.

The Great British High Street awards body will issue a shortlist in September, which will then be open to a public vote.

To ensure your high street has a chance of taking the title and up to £10,000, use #MyHighStreet on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter.

The overall winner will be announced on November 14.
