Transforming empty shops
• Empty shops drag down the appearance of the towns - we plan to bring these places back to life by revamping them with art displays by local artists and shop front vinyls to transform the shop front.
• We want to encourage new independent retailers into our towns. To give new retailers a helping hand we will be launching a start up initiative aimed at giving budding retail entrepreneurs a taste of the High Street environment.  Working together with local land lords to make good use of empty shops and the local Business Support Agency (BDS) to provide advice and guidance, it will give tenants an opportunity to test their ideas and operate at reduced rates.

Spring clean for the town centre
• Early next year town centre pavements will be getting a steam clean in Braintree, Witham and Halstead which will remove built up grime and more difficult debris such as chewing gum.

10p parking initiative
Unfortunately, the 10p parking initiative is not available in Halstead because the car parks are managed by Halstead Town Council who will be undertaking their own initiatives.

Please contact Halstead Town Council for more information on 01787 476480 or go to www.halsteadtowncouncil.co.uk  Click here to find out about our parking initiative in other towns.
