Heart of Haverhill Ltd was a Task Group of ONE Haverhill Partnership and was created originally in 2018, incorporated in February 2021. Our ambition was to support the improvement and expansion of the town of Haverhill by winning Business Improvement District status for the Town Centre of Haverhill. Almost £50k was raised through matched funding to employ a town centre manager, on behalf of the business community. This was highly successful and some important engagement and traction was gained on behalf of the business community.This went to ballot in early 2022, but was not sufficiently supported by the very town businesses who stood to gain the most. I retired as Chair and Director in April 2022
