A lot of work in progress!
Last night’s meeting of the Town Council’s Tourism and Town Promotion sub committee covered a lot of issues. There are numerous events in the pipeline and the meeting received reports on the up to date position on several of them. The Cycle Race in June and the Music Festival in July promise to be fantastic new events in the town this year. Progress reports were presented and I’ve no doubt that we shall see thousands of visitors streaming into town for all the fun.
Another item on the agenda was a proposal to consider festooning the High Street with flags or banners on purpose made flag poles using the existing Christmas tree brackets. Obviously there is a cost involved and the management of such a scheme would require some thought - but it was agreed that the idea be investigated further. I can just imagine what a fantastic sight would be created with fluttering flags flying from above the shops in the High Street. I’m sure the Food and Drink Festival, for one, would be interested in using the brackets to fly F&D flags.
A good, positive meeting! I enjoy working with this committee - it’s got a “roll your sleeves up and let’s do it” attitude under the chairmanship of Cllr. Jill Hood!
have your say
