Business Consultations

Local businesses have a good knowledge and understanding of the District and its residents.  They know what is working and what isn’t working on a day to day basis.  They know how to run successful businesses, weigh up different priorities and plan for the future.

So, whether the Council is looking at the strategic development of the District or its own internal operations, such as spending plans, it knows that local businesses can offer valuable advice and assistance.

This is why the Council is committed to consulting with the business community and has put in place a Consultative Charter to ensure that it happens in a timely and effective way.

If you are a local business and join the Rochford Business Network we will keep you notified of key consultations. Please follow the link below to join.
