The Market Town Welcome project will help the town and its tourism businesses to develop a strong identity for Berwick. The work will be tailored to fit with the emerging plans for investment and improvements from the Berwick Futures Project, but will be co-ordinated by a distinct Leadership Group. This group, which has been convened specially for the project, will be co-ordinated by Berwick Borough Council, and will include representatives from the Berwick Development Trust, the local tourism association, Berwick Cittaslow and Slow Food, Heritage groups and local tourism businesses.

Main contact for the Group is Tim Kirton, who may be contacted at tk@berwick-upon-tweed.gov.uk

Once the plans are developed, the Leadership Group will continue to meet to implement projects and to ensure that the wider Vision for Berwick takes account of the Market Town Welcome plan.

We hope that this website will develop as an online community during the course of the project. Feel free to use the discussion forum to give us your thoughts.

Post your digital photos on the site. Show us what you like or dislike about Berwick. What would you show visitors? What would you steer them away from? What makes you proud of your town? Whether you have a full professional kit or a mobile phone, we want to see your images.
