  • Be a platform for tackling issues
     
  • Provide opportunities to maximise benefits from business support initiatives available through the regional / central government bodies.
     
  • Provide a platform for businesses to network and provide support to each other
     
  • Act as a key consultative body on major development proposals affecting the town centre
