Bassetlaw District Council have joined forces with local businesses and stakeholders to capture the character and vibrancy of Bassetlaw and promote it through new websites and marketing campaigns.
The first to launch is called ‘Discover Retford’ which is aiming to inspire visitors, residents and businesses alike to explore the wonderful attractions, shops, cuisine and events the area has to offer.
It aims to be a key tool in attracting more visitors, supporting local businesses and strengthening the district's tourism industry working in partnership with the Retford Town Centre Partnership Board.
Councillor Steve Scotthorne, Cabinet Member for Identity and Place said:
“This campaign is a great way to help put Bassetlaw on the map as a place to shop, visit, eat and live. It will encourage more visitors to the area and help boost our tourism industry, and I am pleased with how engaging our local independent businesses and shops have been with the project.”
