RETAILERS in Marlow facing tough times in the face of the recession are being given the chance to discuss the issues concerning them most at a meeting next week.

The Marlow Chamber of Trade and Commerce is arranging the event to bring the town's traders together.

It hopes to encourage them to generate positive ideas and find ways of bringing more people into the town to spend money. It says it also wants to give traders a greater sense of community, and dispel any feelings of isolation they may have.

All retailers are invited, whether chamber member or not, to meet at 6pm on Monday, January 26, in the Garden Room at Liston Hall, Liston Road.
