Town Management

Since 1997 Dorking has benefited from an active town management initiative whose remit is to help develop the town's economy

To work together with private, publice and voluntary sector to improve the vibrancy, viltality and commerical viability of Dorking creating a town where shopping, visiting, living, working and relaaxing are enjoyable experiences.

This web site and its accompanying booklet is part of a wider visitor and tourism initiative developed by town management in partnership with other local organisations.

The town management initiative is a public/private partnership supported financially by Mole Valley District Council, St Martins Walk Shopping Centre, J Sainsbury plc, Waitrose Ltd, Barclays Bank plc, Boots plc and Dorking & District Chamber of Commerce. Representatives from these key partners form the overall management 'Steering Group' which provides guidance and direction to the town manager.

The town manager has honorary positions in the following town centre organisations: Dorking & District Chamber of Commerce, Dorking Business Breakfast Group, South Street Traders Association, West Street Association.
