Petition to move the Witham Market - make your views known

Dear all,

In order to help drive the case for moving our Market (and to try and prevent further delays with BDC seeking further input), I have started an online petition to try and  get a feeling from the town for why we need to make the move.  Can you please help sign the petition?

Many thanks,

Get Witham Working - This Friday 13th April

Dear Chris,

Priti was hoping that you might be able to mention to your members that she is organising an event this Friday called Get Witham Working, which seeks to promote businesses, entrepreneurs and jobs in Witham and Essex and aims to introduce Witham’s young people to local businesses and future employment opportunities.

It is this Friday between 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. at Witham Public Hall, Collingwood Road, Witham, Essex, CM8 2DY.  The venue will be available from 1 p.m. for any businesses or organisations who wish to set up stands or stalls for activities such as workshops, demonstrations or any interview sessions they may wish to run.

We will be welcoming businesses, prominent members of the local community, apprentices and schools to attend the event, as well as local and national media, to showcase the talent that Witham and Essex has to offer.

If anybody has any questions, they are welcome to contact her office at the House of Commons on 02072193528. 

With every best wish,

Paul
