A dental practice has been keeping Congleton residents' teeth healthy for generations.

Moody Terrace Dental Practice has been presented with a 70-year High Street Award by Congleton Town Council.

The award recognises the practice decades-long contribution to dental care in the town and its role as a trusted, long-serving, local business.

Town Mayor councillor Robert Brittain said: "Moody Terrace Dental Practice has cared for local families for generations.

"They are a shining example of the kind of business our High Street Awards were created to recognise – long-standing, community-focused, and committed to excellence.

"It's wonderful to see their legacy of care, professionalism, and community involvement celebrated in this way.

"Their dedication has had a real and lasting impact on the people of Congleton."

Moody Terrace, located in a Georgian townhouse at 17 Moody Street, is currently undergoing a significant refurbishment and extension to modernise its facilities.

Despite the challenges of working within a listed building, the updates will include wider entrances, ramps, and corridors for better accessibility, along with a tranquil garden space for patients to enjoy.

Councillor Brittain presented the award to co-owner Dr Tom Bartley on Thursday, June 26.

Dr Bartley said: "We're proud to continue evolving while staying true to our heritage.

"This award means a great deal to our team, who are committed to providing outstanding care to the people of Congleton."

Congleton residents are invited to nominate their favourite long-standing businesses for a High Street Award.

To be eligible for an award, businesses must have traded in the town for at least five years, operate a physical shop or premises in the town centre or a nearby parade, and provide excellent customer service and contribute to community life.
