TOWN CENTRE SURVEY

Marlborough is your town!

map-rounded

Whether you live, work or play here or are a welcome visitor, the Town Council would like to hear from you.

town-centre-image-watermarked

Please tell us what you like about Marlborough now, and just as important, we’d like you to share your ideas about what would make you love it more, and how you'd like to see it develop.

Marlborough High Street is consistently ranked among the best in the UK.  Our historic, famously wide High Street is the jewel in the crown… and while we know there's so much more to beautiful Marlborough, some people might not.

The Town Council wants to keep Marlborough at the top of the rankings and shout about the whole town centre.  It is determined to do everything it can to make sure the town remains vibrant and attractive for everyone.

From time to time, grants and funding opportunities become available. These might be as diverse as providing support to businesses, investing in town centre infrastructure, promoting town centre shopping, improving public transport and more. Whatever they are, the Town Council wants to have a plan in place now, so that it can act quickly to secure funding as it becomes available.

We have every reason to look at ways to protect our unique blend of fabulous retail, hospitality, leisure and visitor attractions and green spaces to be sure that, as trends and needs change, our town centre will always remain appealing and accessible to all, for years to come.

The survey closes on 11 October. We’ll publish the results early in November.
