Business Development Opportunities at StreetVelodrome

On the 1st and 2nd August 2015, Worthing will host the fifth round of the UK StreetVelodrome series - which will then be aired on various global television networks as a 30 minute Worthing highlights show – and sponsorship opportunities are now available for businesses wanting to significantly raise their profile.

With several thousand people expected to pack out Beach House grounds in Worthing on the first weekend of August, the StreetVelodrome event would be a good opportunity for any company to connect to more customers. The television highlights show extends this opportunity, with over 600,000 adults seeing the equivalent StreetVelodrome programme in 2014.

Worthing Borough Council has been keen to keep the cost of sponsorship opportunities affordable, as Executive Member for Regeneration, Councillor Bryan Turner, explains:

“There’s no point bringing a hugely exciting event like StreetVelodrome to Worthing, only to price local businesses out of the sponsorship opportunities.

“We’ve already had incredibly strong interest and take up in our Gold, Silver and Bronze packages, with significant local companies investing in some high profile brand building.  However, there are still spaces, so interested businesses should move quickly to secure a sponsorship slot.”

In addition to the main sponsorship packages, Worthing Borough Council are developing a filmed media package which will be both used as a marketing tool in the run up to the event, and as a celebration of a fantastic weekend of StreetVelodrome cycling afterwards.

Businesses interested in finding out how to make the most of this opportunity should contact Jo Osborne, Worthing Borough Council’s Events Manager by email jo.osborne@adur-worthing.gov.uk

More information about the exciting StreetVelodrome event, and its inaugural Worthing heat, can be found on their website – www.streetvelodrome.co.uk

Parliamentary Newsletter - February 2015

Dear Constituent,

Welcome to my penultimate constituency e-newsletter before the election and I am glad to report that more constituents than ever are now receiving it. A particular welcome to you if this is the first time!

There have been a number of high profile lobbying campaigns recently on everything from tax avoidance to stunning animals for slaughter and I have posted my responses on my website. I also have a new video podcast and survey on my TellTim website (www.telltim.co.uk/surveys/a27) and I would welcome your views there. The results from the survey on the regeneration of Southwick Square have already been collated and are available on TellTim.co.uk. I am still receiving replies to my EU survey and will keep it open for another few weeks before compiling the results to publish in my newsletter next month. This follows on from a newspaper which I am currently delivering door-to-door across the constituency which also includes a round-up of my activities in 2014. If you have not received one yet then do let me know but it does rely on volunteers who are distributing it at no cost to the taxpayer.

As always please do let me know what issues you would like me to cover and I look forward to seeing you soon either at one of my street surgeries or unannounced on your doorstep.

Best wishes,

Tim Loughton MP

We welcome the publication, by the Government, of the A27 Corridor Feasibility Study.  It is important that everyone is able to access and understand the work that was completed last year.  We are currently considering the Study and its findings.

West Sussex County Council, as part of A27 Action, helped inform the Department for Transport’s work through participation in its Reference Group alongside other stakeholders.

A27 Action received submissions regarding the need to improve the A27 from businesses, residents and local parish councils.  Ministers were receptive to this engagement and the views expressed in a coherent way for the Department to take account of.

The Government took on board all of the views received.  We thank Ministers for taking the time to visit the County and for listening to the concerns and suggestions for improvements.

The Feasibility Study has identified improvement options.  The detail in the Feasibility Study sets out the Department for Transport’s conclusions in accordance with its standard transport appraisal techniques.

These options will now be subject to more detailed technical work to ensure they will achieve the Government’s objectives.

We recognise there is a lot of detail to consider but we are committed to involving residents, businesses, Borough and District Councils and the Local Enterprise Partnership.

The study sets out that further work is required on the detail of the most feasible options.  Once this has been completed, those options will be published for formal consultation.

We will ensure that the consultation will invite views in relation to sustainable transport measures to complement investment along the A27.

West Sussex County Council looks forward to working with all stakeholders, particularly Highways England, in investing in the strategic road network in the County.

We welcome the Government’s Study as part of the long-term economic plan to boost investment in the strategic road network.

The Government’s commitment helps to ensure that a strong and diverse economy can grow in West Sussex
 
The feasibility study published by the Government is set out in a series of technical reports is currently available here - https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/a27-corridor-feasibility-study-technical-reports

Recertification Success!

Why is having a good audit, good?
Our NQA Auditor conducts a renewal audit every year to confirm our ongoing compliance with the required quality standards.

Being recertified demonstrates, not only our continuing commitment to the concept of continuous improvement as a requirement of the standards, but our commitment to maintaining these Quality and Environmental standards as evidence to our customers that we will continue to produce and supply products to the highest quality.
