Staffordshire: Renewing and Investing in its Towns 2021 | Newsco Insider Limited | 12 October 2021 | Online

Staffordshire’s historic towns are attractive and well-connected and full of thriving businesses. But how do they make the most of the post-pandemic upturn?

Insider is hosting a special online forum to look at the huge potential of towns such as Burton-upon-Trent, Tamworth, Lichfield, Uttoxeter, Newcastle-under-Lyme, Cannock Chase and Stafford.

You’ll get the chance to hear from leading business people, senior politicians and key academics on what these towns can do to maximise their potential, heighten their profile and compete with the other towns and cities in the region.

Issues to be discussed at this event include:
• Attracting investors to growth potential
• Reinventing the town centre
• Making the most of good transport connectivity
• Retaining skilled workers
• Role of colleges and universities
• Maximising tourist attractions
