Town Centre Management promises to work together continuously to improve the attractiveness, prosperity, culture, employment and entertainment in Coalville. In the context of Town Centre Management, partnership is a key element. The dictionary defines "partner" as a person associated with others in business, and the Town Centre Management Partnership is anxious to press on with and further those partnerships already in place, whilst creating many more in the future. Public, private and voluntary sectors all share hopes for the further development of our Town Centres and thereby increase their role regionally for shopping, culture, business and entertainment. Ultimately we are searching for the right formula to make the whole district healthier and fitter to compete with other regional centres. Town Centres in general are constantly changing day by day. Inspired by the energy of its business people, shaped by the visionary support of its many partnerships and delivery networks, and backed by the Town Centre Management Board, we are all ambitious to achieve more over the next few years. So whatever you perceive a town of the 21st century to be, work with us to deliver it for the district centres. Collectively we can deliver town centres of choice, opportunity, quality, and above all, fun and vibrancy. By working together as a cohesive unit, we can make a real difference, moving "forward in partnership". To achieve this goal will necessitate real hard work, but it is really worth the effort. Frequently Asked Questions ... 1. Why should I become involved in the partnership? People join for a variety of reasons, mainly to have a better view of what's happening in their own Town Centre. Sometimes this enables further business networking to improve their business. 2. Is there a sliding scale of membership to encourage smaller businesses to apply? Businesses can become involved in some of the various thematic groups looking at delivering specific improvements for; the environment, crime reduction, promotions and events and tackling issues around access and mobility. Businesses can join the Business Group for a £50 per year subscription entitling them to attend the meetings and also to attend the Breakfast meetings held quarterly (a small charge is made for those businesses who are not a member of the Business Group who attend the Breakfast Meeting). They will also receive discounts on advertising in the Pocket Guide to the Coalville, town centre website and other advertising and promotional activities planned throughout the year as well as a bimonthly Newsletter. Several members of the Business Group will be invited to sit on the Management Board of the Partnership. 3. I am a one-man band- I want to support the Partnership, but don't know the best way to help? The best way to help can be involvement in and supporting events in your area and talking up the area in which you live or work. 4. What does the Partnership do to promote my town? The Partnership develops a number of events and promotions with the continued support of the various groups.

The Management Board and Steering Group meets bimonthly and the various thematic groups every three months or as needed.
