"Encourage people to shop locally and support our town centre small independent businesses and market"

Who We Help, Why We Help & the Difference It Makes

We mainly aim to help the small, indepedent businesses in our town, including market traders and makers and artisans. We do this in a number of ways, for example we organise events in the town centre such as Independent's Day, first Saturday in July, Christmas Festival Weekend, in collaboration with the town coucil on the last weekend of November and Small Business Saturday, first Saturday in December. We have a website where  local businesses can be promoted with links to their own websites etc as well as a customer friendly shopping platform which allows businesses to sell online offering a click and collect service which helps boost footfall. 

We sell some Leighton Buzzard branded merchandise such as calenders which help to promote our town centre in a positive way and encourage people to shop locally.

We also work closely with the town council and Central Beds Council to help formulate policies which help to enhance our historic town centre in order to make it a more attractive and welcoming destination for residents, visitors and businesses.
