A Dynamic Future
 
 
Nationally renowned
‘Face of the Millennium'
produced in Haverhill by the
Town Council and
Chris Dorley-Brown


These are exciting times for Haverhill. More and more the town features in discussions and strategic documents on the future development of 'Greater Cambridge', and the opportunities that this will afford.

The town is set to expand further and the Borough Council is working to steer its future to ensure that the balance is right. Whatever the growth, there will need to be improvements in the form and shape of industry, housing, retail and infrastructure.

Haverhill has an impressive track record in manufacturing industry and recent new investment illustrates that the town has an excellent business culture. This, in turn, has grabbed the attention of regional agencies such as the East of England Development Agency and the East of England Investment Agency. By developing positive new partnerships with these bodies, Haverhill will capture some of the action and flourish all the more.

Whilst Cambridge will always be a lure to workers, shoppers and visitors alike, Haverhill's 'all-round offer' will always encourage new investment that will provide local jobs, offer a full range of house types, create a welcoming and safe environment and nurture leisure and cultural outlets to satisfy all tastes.

While working alongside local industry and the Borough and Town Councils, Haverhill Enterprise 2000 has done much to raise the town's profile and has lobbied assiduously on a whole range of issues that touch upon Haverhill's well-being. This is particularly commendable as the work is done voluntarily, and by leading industrialists who at the same time are having to contend with changing markets, globalisation and fierce competition. We are, indeed, fortunate to have such a dedicated group in our midst.

A vision has emerged from those who have the town's best interests at heart - i.e. the town's own 'stakeholders'.
