Prestwich Village Business Group Meeting

Date published: 17/07/2007

The next meeting of the Prestwich Village Business group will take place on Wednesday 25th July at Time for Tea (Tea room), 416 Bury new Road, Prestwich.

The group aims to support local traders and improve the business environment in Prestwich.  Since the last meeting the group have been asking local Businesses for their views about the future of Prestwich.  The results will be considered at next Wednesdays meeting which will focus on the proposed Town Centre Development Strategy for Prestwich Village.  Representatives from Bury MBC will be attending the meeting to outline the timetable and way forward for preparation of the strategy which will guide development interests including the future of the Longfield Centre and wider opportunities within Prestwich.

Time for Tea's Julie Comac, the acting organiser of the group said: "It is vital that we the business community get involved in any opportunity for consultation as early as possible in the process.  A future vision for Prestwich needs to take account of existing businesses and we are keen to work with the Council to achieve that."

The group will also be finalising the details for a Village Shopping Guide and information board.

The Group provides an opportunity for businesses to find out what is going on in Prestwich, raise any issues of concern and get involved, all businesses are invited.
