District Centre Management invites your organisation to take part in Know Your Town
Know Your Town is a weeklong road show taking place in the first week of the Easter holidays in April 2011.
The key objectives are to:
• Improve the economic vitality of the town centres
• Reinforce the Shop Smart Shop Local ethos with local people allowing them to know what is on offer in their area
• Promote local businesses
• Promote the key roll voluntary and community organisations play in our community
• Publicise the full range of public sector services, leisure facilities and provision on offer
• Facilitate smarter working by partner organisations to reduce individual costs, enable participants to network and share knowledge and increase the visibility of partners
• Increase footfall in the town centres leading to increased spend within the retail outlets
• Highlight the valuable but normally unrecognised work Street Pride and the probationary service do within the districts - the weekday events will also include a highly visible environmental clean up within the local area
Who would be involved?
• Individual local businesses
• Voluntary and community organisations
