Cllr Danielle Belton

Good Morning,

I am pleased to announce that Rochford District Council are sponsoring the Rochford Teenage Market to bring 'The Elves' Cabin' Christmas Market to town! Being held on Saturday 10th December at The Mill Hall in Rayleigh from 11 am - 4 pm.

It is part of our commitment to encouraging both young entrepreneurial talent in our District and continuing to find ways to drive footfall into our town centres. It follows a series of successful events in Rochford Town. I hope you can support them by promoting the event and attending with family - maybe for some Christmas Shopping! More information on our website and look out for it on our socials. Thank you!

Councillor Mrs Danielle Belton - Portfolio Holder for Climate & Economy
