Torridge and North Devon Councils to Meet with Local Businesses

As part of the 2010/11 budget setting process, Torridge District Council and North Devon Council are carrying out a joint consultation event with the business community, at 6pm on the 8th December, on our proposed budget plans.

The Torridge and North Devon Business Forum, on Tuesday 8th December 2009, will provide useful information and an opportunity for the business communities in Torridge and North Devon to have their voices heard.

As well as a presentation on the councils' budgets for the coming year, there will be presentations by the Valuation Office Agency (Revaluation 2010), and North Devon Plus. Council officers will also be on hand to provide information and advice on any business rate issues.

The Forum is being held at Torridge District Council's Caddsdown offices in Bideford and starts at 6pm with a light buffet provided.

The event is open to all business ratepayers from the districts. If you would like to attend, please contact Torridge's Finance Department on 01237 428968.
