Meeting to se up a new Ilfracombe Business Forum. This meeting was well attended by local businesses of all types: shop-owners, restaurants, accommodation providers as well as non tourism-related businesses large and small. Many of your town councillors also have businesses in the town and those in attendance were Councillors Ron Ley, Philip Webb, Lynda Courtnadge and Albert Furber.
Attendees appreciated the need for the Ilfracombe Business Community to have a unified and co-ordinated voice to give it more impact both in Northern Devon as a whole and when working with other agencies and councils. The vote was unanimously in favour of creating this group, but the details of the structure of the group and its remit were deferred to the next meeting when it was requested that all Ilfracombe trade and business groups would be invited to ensure the widest commitment.
The next meeting will be held in early January.
