“We want to make Uttlesford a tourist destination and we need the input and engagement from the businesses to achieve this, so I do urge them to attend.”
Simon Jackson, cconomic development officer at UDC, added: “We want to create a plan of action with the aim of attracting more visitors to the towns, villages, heritage attractions, events and leisure facilities that are on offer in our district.”
“We want to work together with the tourism and leisure businesses to help put Uttlesford on the tourist map and
we want to encourage as many businesses to attend the event.”
