Drop-In sessions held across the county will be your opportunity to meet with your local BID CEO and BID Business Executive to discuss local projects. Keep an eye on this page and the newsletter for dates, times and locations of the Drop-Ins. Business Support Surgeries are also held by the Marches Growth Hub.
