What are the biggest challenges facing your business? What needs to change to help you grow and invest? And what would you like your local elected representatives to hear?
The Business Partnership Alliance (BPA) is inviting local businesses to join Business Voice: Local Conversations, a series of engagement sessions taking place across the Borough this autumn.
The sessions will bring together businesses and local elected representatives for an open and constructive discussion about the real challenges, pressures and opportunities facing businesses. Whether it's planning, premises, rates, recruitment and skills, access to finance, business support or another issue affecting your business, we want to hear your views.
The evening will include a short Business Confidence Index survey, facilitated round-table discussion and an elected member panel. You can also submit a question for the panel discussion with your local elected representatives.
Importantly, the insight gathered will directly inform BPA's 2026–27 Business Confidence Index and our future lobbying and engagement with Council, Government Departments and other key decision-makers.
Places are free, but advance registration is required.
Come along, have your say and help ensure the voice of local businesses is heard.
We look forward to seeing you at the upcoming events.
