New regeneration manager hired to revive Hednesford
Hednesford Town Council has hired a new regeneration manager, with reviving its identity top of the agenda.
Michelle Baker was appointed in July after working in town and city centre management for the last 12 years.
The creation of a new brand and identity for Hednesford town centre is currently in development and a business survey is underway to better understand the issues and concerns of local businesses.
The next stage will be addressing the feedback.
Filling the town centre's empty shops is a main priority and making it a more attractive place to visit and do business is also on the agenda.
A new business forum will be formed so local businesses are connected and have a voice on the issues that affect them.
Projects to clean up the town including graffiti removal, weeding and repair of brick borders – which is scheduled to take place within the next few weeks.
Delivering a year-round programme of events including a monthly farmers' market, annual food festival, car shows and an open air cinema are all plans for the town in 2021.
