The group met regularly over the three years 2003-6 supported by the CFF Project Manager. During this time its achievements included:

  • A Business Support Fair
  • Design, production and distribution of a brochure promoting Carterton as a business destination.
  • Contributing to the establishment of Ventura Business Park. Go to www.venturabusinesspark.co.uk for further details.
  • A significant involvement on the Pub/Restaurant/Hotel provision on West Oxfordshire Business Park (a planning application has now been made)
  • A local business survey undertaken in 2003, updated in 2006
  • The setting up of a web page for Carterton on the Oxfordshire Chambers Network - www.otcn.co.uk/carterton_chamber.htm
  • After August 2006, the group was wound up as there was no funding for the Project Manager to continue supporting it.

  • Research into the employment/travel movements of residents of the NE Development;
  • Exploring with the RAF the potential of attracting aeronautical enterprise to the area;
  • Support for the development of post-16 education at the Carterton Community College;
  • Establishing an IT resource/training centre.
