About the service
Following a survey of the needs of Gloucestershire Market Towns Forum's member communities, which many of you kindly contributed to, the Forum Board agreed that GMTF should focus on providing members with expert advice as an additional member benefit. Full members of the Forum will be able to receive up to 15 hours of free technical assistance. This could cover, for example, help with carrying out simple feasibility studies, funding advice, assistance with the preparation of community plans, policy development or signposting to further professional advice - including training - for each member community.
