Come to the AMT Convention 12-13 October in Wiltshire

Small towns have enjoyed a renaissance over the past decade – tackling hidden deprivation and becoming a major economic force.
But can they keep it up?
The 2010 Action for Market Towns’ Convention on 12-13 October in Chippenham, Wiltshire faces the challenges of continuing this renaissance over the next 10 years in tough economic and environmental circumstances and with more competition for public and private investment.
Come along, join in the debate, hear from Market Town Award winners and get practical solutions for your town.
