Working With Markets Peer Working Group

Description

Markets are at the heart of many places and bring vibrancy and value to town centres. Working to improve or re-develop markets can also present a range of challenges, many of which can be tricky to work around and often include a broad range of stakeholders who need to be engaged throughout.

This peer working group is for places who have market-related projects, or projects where market stall-holders are a significant stakeholder.

Time

Meetings for this working group take place every six weeks. To receive more information on the next session, please sign up below.
