Frodsham Artisan Market: Local Business Impact Survey

Cheshire Community Action is conducting this survey on behalf of Frodsham Town Council to understand the impact of the Frodsham Artisan Market, launched in March 2024, on local businesses. The market was established to promote Frodsham as a destination for both residents and visitors and to help rejuvenate the town following the COVID-19 pandemic.

Your feedback will help inform future decisions regarding events and town centre development.
