Business Support Key Projects Team - South Cambridgeshire Market Webpages

As part of our Business Plan commitment to grow local businesses and economies, one of our objects is to work with parish councils, local communities, and businesses to help establish and expand local markets within the South Cambridgeshire District, as well as finding additional opportunities for businesses to trade. The Economic Development Team is responsible for delivering operationally on our market development work to positively influence and advance community markets throughout the region. So far, this has involved visits to existing markets to explore how they are run and who by, data gathering, and gauging the mood for markets across South Cambridgeshire in a post-Covid landscape.

 

Our South Cambridgeshire Markets pages have been running for several months now, and we’ve already seen rising interest from villages across our district starting their own newfound markets. Moreover, many unique and gifted independent traders have applied and been subsequently added to our Trader Directory, which is now growing. Nevertheless, we are keen for more marketeers to feature as this project continues. Our overarching goal remains to successfully link market organisers with market traders, help identify additional skills and jobs opportunities, and remain aligned to our Business Plan for the social and economic well-being of business communities and residents.

 

Once again, we would greatly appreciate if our valued Parish Councils shared these new webpages to promote the exposure of our district’s already ongoing village markets. We believe this will assist in the growth of the market and trader directories whilst also broadening public interest and support for emerging and aspiring small local businesses.

 

Finally, should any Parish have a desire to begin a market of their own, please do not hesitate to contact us on businesskeyprojects@scambs.gov.ukwith any queries you may have.
