Rhyl 2014
Partners Working Together
The TestTown event in Rhyl, North Wales, was a great example of how an innovative local partner could draw together a whole range of agencies to make the event work. Coleg Menai, the local further education college, led the delivery of the TestTown in partnership with Denbighshire Council and Rhyl City Strategy.
“With clear college and local authority lead officers taking responsibility for the project over the long term, the project delivered a stronger impact.”
Between them, these partners secured units from private landlords, allowed us access to public spaces and the town library, hosted the masterclass training day in the bespoke Retail Studies centre at the college, and laid on a spectacular judging night celebration to reward the participants. With clear college and local authority lead officers taking responsibility for the project over the long term, the project delivered a stronger impact.
