Altrincham Forward’s new town centre office will open its doors for the first time on Sunday 19th May, from 11am to 3.30pm.
The office is in the former Chisnalls unit at 12/14 Shaw’s Road and will be the base for the Town Centre Team, led by Paul Armstrong - Altrincham’s newly appointed Town Centre Manager.
Matt Colledge, Chair of Altrincham Forward and Leader of Trafford Council said: “We are delighted that Altrincham Forward will now have a presence right in the heart of the town.
“The office won’t be fully operational until early July, but it is now ready for occupation and the first exhibition in the new community display area will open on Sunday. This is being staged by Local Creation, our local creative arts studio and workshop. We hope as many people as possible take the opportunity to pop into the office, visit the markets and enjoy the many bars, cafes and restaurants around the market area.”
The first few weeks will be used to set the office up properly, iron out any glitches and familiarise staff. A more formal launch will be held when the Town Centre Manager takes up his post in July.
It will be well worth paying a visit to Altrincham on Sunday 19th. The new office is directly opposite the Lower Market where the town’s first Student Market is being held by Trafford College.
Nearby Local Creation are having one of their popular Open Days and the busy, monthly Vintage, Crafts and Food Producers Market is in the main market buildings. Trafford College students will be providing music and entertainment throughout the day.
It is Love Your Local Market Fortnight, all part of encouraging people into the town centre.
Local charity Art with A Heart‘s “Tribute to Basil Morrison” exhibition will also be open at their new location in Norman’s Place.
