Aylesbury Town Council is proud to support town centre businesses and encourage footfall to the town centre.
The Town Council has a designated Town Centre Officer whose role is to support town centre businesses and provide information, projects and resources as directed by the Town Council.
See some of the ways the Town Council supports local businesses below:
Business Profiling
Each week, the Town Council shares a ‘Business of the Week’ on the Aylesbury Town Council Facebook page which has more than 10,000 followers. These have proved very popular with many gaining large levels of reach and engagement. If you would like your business to be showcased, email the Town Centre Manager.
Competitions
We host competitions for businesses to be part of. Most recently, the Best Dressed Window/Business competitions have been popular. They were themed around Easter and Halloween. The Mayor of Aylesbury judges the competition. Prizes have included a three-month advertising campaign on Bucks Radio and £75 towards an evening out at a restaurant in Aylesbury.
Monthly e-Newsletter
Business owners are invited to receive a monthly email newsletter covering information relevant to Aylesbury town centre including new business openings, upcoming Town Council events and projects, national retail news and useful resources.
If your business is within the parish and you would like to be added to the mailing list please email the Town Centre Manager: [email protected]
