Supporting Town Centre Regeneration

Debbie was at the inaugural meeting of the Towns Team, which aims to encourage more people to use the High Street. This is being funded from a Department of Business Innovation and Skills grant obtained by Neil Carmichael MP. The Towns Team will focus on promoting the many festivals in Stroud District in order to encourage people to visit and use the High Street. ​

This is a joint partnership between Stroud Chamber, Stroud District Council and Councillors and business representatives from Stroud, Dursley, Wootton and Painswick.

The Portas Pilot project shows we need to think innovatively about how to encourage more people to use the High Street, and this is what the Towns Team is all about'
