Local Issues – Cheltenham & Gloucestershire

Through close collaboration with local and national business leaders, we address critical issues with the aim to promote business and economic growth within Cheltenham. It is our goal to promote, protect and represent the interests of local businesses of all sizes and to effect local community prosperity via a pro-business climate. In so doing, we also aim to make the region a better place to live and work.

We are actively interested to hear about any important local issues that could impact our member businesses. To bring something to our attention, please contact us.
