Towns Alive! Helping your town centre thrive alongside the supermarket
This is a joint AMT / South East Rural Towns Partnership (SERTP) event.
This seminar is NOT about whether supermarkets are a good or a bad thing and nor is it about how to campaign against the building of supermarkets.
Instead the focus is on what you can do to help your town centre or high street continue to thrive and even to benefit from the existence of supermarkets, both current and planned.
Wednesday 22 February in Alton, Hampshire
