The Market Town Welcome project will help the town and its tourism businesses to develop a strong identity for Haltwhistle. The work will be tailored to fit with the emerging plans for investment and improvements arising from the Haltwhistle Retail Distinctiveness 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 Haltwhistle Partnership, and will include representatives from the local council, the local tourism association, heritage groups and local tourism and retail businesses.
Main contact for the Group is Gillian Cowell, who may be contacted at gillian@haltwhistle.org
Once the plans are developed, the Leadership Group will continue to meet to implement projects and to ensure that the wider investment programme for Haltwhistle 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.
