on the consultation meeting held with the local business community

| Three
businesses were represented from the farming, tourist (Bed and Breakfast)
and secretarial/distribution service sectors. |

The
following points were made:
|
- There
is a need to understand why so few businesses had attended
- There
was general support for future network initiatives if the marketing
can be improved
- A
local business directory developed from and allied to the web
site, the Noticeboard and possibly a welcome pack for new residents
- A
Business to Business event
- The
appointment of a local Business Broker funded through the Local
Strategic Partnership
- Improvements
to the tourism infrastructure including cycling and pedestrian
routes to Ipswich, possibly an increase in overnight accommodation
- Improvements
to local tourism facilities including completion of the definitive
path map, signposting of footpaths, improved information boards
and improvements to picnic areas
- A
Farmers Market is worthy of further investigation
