Current WorkA small working group with representatives from the town, district and county councils along with the Chamber of Trade, has been set up to support and encourage local businesses and employment. There has been a meeting with the redeployment section at RAF Brize Norton which has led to closer working to support personnel leaving the forces wishing to find employment or set up businesses in the area. We are anxious to make sure information about business opportunities in the town are properly promoted and are currently updating our publicity material.The Council and CFF Partnership have been pressing for improvements for the tenants of South Carterton Industrial Estate, and this has been partially achieved as the District Council has now agreed to extend the leases of the tenants there to enable investment to take place. For further information, contact David Thurlow at West Oxfordshire District Council david.thurlow@westoxon.gov.uk Our funding bid for a project made up of a range of actions to support and develop the local economy was partially successful. We received a grant to set up the Job Club www.carterton-tc.gov.uk/jobclub which has been running since May 2011. We have just received a further grant from the Community Covenant Fund to provide reception and job search facilities downstairs at the Town Hall. The Economic Development Group is continuing to work to promote Carterton as a business destination and to support existing businesses and employment.
