Plans are now well under way for the Queens Platinum Jubilee Street Party and the sub committee have started to deliver the flyers to all businesses in town.  Please help us promote this wonderful community event by displaying the posters.

Tickets for the event will go on sale on Saturday 23^rd April at the Anchor from 10am. The Street Party itself takes place on Thursday 2^nd June in the Market Square and all roads leading off the square. Do join us for an afternoon of celebrations and music.

On the 1st of March 2022, the Chamber of Commerce held its AGM at Sidmouth Sailing Club. Sadly we said goodbye to some long standing committee members and welcomed on board some new faces.

In February 2022 Sidmouth Chamber learnt that EDDC planned to increase car parking charges from £1.00 - £2.00 an 100% increase in the town.

We want our town to recover and thrive after a difficult two years for many.  You only have read the news headlines, to realise that our businesses face a challenging 2022, with raising costs as do the residents of Sidmouth with the rise in cost of living, energy bills etc.

We feel that the proposal has not been thought though and has not allowed consultation. There has been no impact assessment, and little concern for the economic health of our communities and the business they support. 

Our sincere thanks goes to all the businesses who helped collect the signatures and to all those who signed it.  The Chamber of Commerce presented the petition to EDDC in March with over 1700 signatures on it
