Braintree Town Partnership

About the Braintree Town Partnership

“Our mission is to write the next chapter in Braintree’s proud history of leadership in industry, retail and design. Our town centre will be the heart of a thriving network of culture and commerce.”

The Braintree Town Partnership is a non-profit organisation created in 2018; created off the back of a number of workshops undertaken over a 12-month period. These workshops were managed by ‘Design South East’, an organisation who specialise in offering impartial design advice and assistance to local authorities and developers.

The exercise was funded by Braintree District Council after an acknowledgement that the town required focus and direction. These workshops involved many key stakeholders both within and from around the town, this included business owners and residents.

Braintree, supported by Design South East created a vision to what Braintree town should look like and offered advice on ‘next steps’. These ‘next steps’ identified a requirement for an organisation to drive the town forward. The BTP was born. The BTP stands alone in as much as it is not controlled by Braintree District Council. It is an organisation created by the town, for the town.
