“Our district offers competitive commercial opportunities for businesses, a significant number of cultural and heritage sites for visitors and quality of life for residents."
Braintree District Council has created a new website which promotes the district to new businesses, residents and visitors.
Called Locate Braintree District, the website outlines the reasons why businesses should invest, people should live and visitors should visit the district.
The platform also showcases the Council’s investments and the innovative projects setting up home in the district. The key investments include the Horizon 120 business, innovation and logistics park, the Victoria Square regeneration and the pedestrianisation of Braintree’s town centre.
The aim of the initiative is to attract new businesses, residents, visitors and investment into the area from outside.
People can visit the website at www.locatebraintreedistrict.co.uk. The new site links to the existing Visit Braintree District website.
Cllr Tom Cunningham, Deputy Leader and Cabinet Member for Economic Growth at Braintree District Council, said: “Our district offers competitive commercial opportunities for businesses, a significant number of cultural and heritage sites for visitors and quality of life for residents. We are in a great strategic location, especially for businesses, close to Stansted Airport, near Freeport East and London and the regional growth centres of Cambridge, Colchester and Chelmsford. We can use this platform to raise the profile of where we live and promote our district as a great place to work, visit and do business and this initiative is just the start of that journey.”
