Business support

Warm wishes for 2013, from the Weaver Valley team.
This year will see exciting developments in the Weaver Valley, with the commencement of the Northwich Marina or Hayhurst Quay as it will be known, and moving forward you are invited to engage with consultations regarding plans for the new Memorial Court, Cultural Centre.

We will look to realise long term plans to re-shape the town, to maximise its location and opportunities whilst exploring its strengths: promoting both the value of the water-way and fulfil untapped cultural potential and deliver economic spin offs.

The economy and the regeneration of the area is our priority and we look forward to growing our engagement with business, nurturing enterprise and encouraging new business starts; creating new opportunities.

We look forward to working with you and look ahead to a challenging and inspiring 2013.

We are always keen to hear from businesses in the area, if you would like to know more about the work of the Waver Valley you can follow us on this website or email us at chairofweavervalley@cheshirewestandchester.gov.uk
