THREE VALLEYS MOVES TO FILL GAP IN THE MARKET

11 March 2010

The stall first opened last Thursday and will now be there each Thursday for the next three weeks.

The initiative will allow easier access for residents to meet with staff face-to-face and discuss services and neighbourhood issues. The stall will also stock leaflets, magazines and the latest information about the association's choice based lettings scheme 'Home Options'.

Head of Customer Services Rod Stair, said about the market stall: "The market is a popular local event on a Thursday and a great chance for us to engage with residents and the public in one of our biggest towns. We are initially running for four weeks to see if there is a demand for a presence at the market going forward."

Rod continued: "This is a really important initiative for us and shows us investing heavily in resident engagement. If anyone wants to come along to find out more about the services we offer, we will be happy to help them."

The stall opens from 10am every Thursday up until 25 March 2010.
