Cotswold District Council leads recovery in town centres
26/03/2021
Cotswold District Council has recently commissioned expert advisors to provide business support and advice for each of the ten main towns and villages within the district as part of current measures to support the reopening of each centre.
Heartflood has been appointed by the council as independent experts in town and city centres and will be providing advice, information and signposting to a range of Cotswold businesses.

Work on the project will begin immediately, focusing on Cirencester, Tetbury, Northleach, Bourton-on-the-Water, Stow-on-the-Wold, Moreton-in-Marsh, South Cerney, Fairford, Lechlade and Chipping Campden and will involve supporting businesses with a range of key recovery factors.
Heartflood will be asking businesses to book a diagnostic appointment and will provide targeted advice or signposting based on individual business needs.
Businesses within each centre are therefore urged to visit the district council website at Business and licensing – Cotswold District Council to gain contact details for this programme.
Councillor Joe Harris, Leader of Cotswold District Council, said: “We are taking a safety-first approach to reopen our town centres. Our goal is to help our district to recover as quickly as possible and we are committed to supporting businesses through the current situation and beyond. We want to encourage all our residents to shop locally and support Cotswold businesses.
“As we prepare for lockdown restrictions to ease we will be providing businesses with the tools and guidance they need to reopen with confidence and become more resilient.
“If you are a local business and would like more information on the scheme, please email high.streets@cotswold.gov.uk or call us on 01285 623000.”
Chris Gregory from Heartflood added: “We recognise that many businesses currently require considerable support and that the balance of needs will vary in each individual case. We therefore urge businesses to get in touch so that we can best assess how they can be supported.”
