ARRIVA
LAUNCHES TOWN GUIDES
RESIDENTS in
Liverpool have no excuses for staying in this summer, after helping
to create a great going-out guide with the assistance of Arriva
Buses. The bus company has unveiled an innovative online
resource to the town, in which all the recommendations have come
straight from Arriva passengers.
Earlier in the year Arriva appealed for people in Liverpool to come
forward and suggest their favourite places, and now all their hard
work has been put to good use. The guide features activities
suitable for all weather conditions including museums, shops and
places to eat.
Nick Gordon, marketing manager for Arriva North West and Wales,
said:- “The idea behind Arriva’s town guides website was to
give something back to the community by asking the experts on
Liverpool - the people who live there. The town guides website
has been launched this week and hopefully it will become a valuable
tool for local people, whether it is to plan a day out with the
family or to help find somewhere special for a celebration.
By working with the people of Liverpool we have already managed to
create something that will help visitors and residents alike, but
this is just the beginning. We want people to continue to help us
and ensure that the Arriva town guides continue to grow and become
bigger and better. If you feel that your town is under
represented or you believe there is a better chip shop or museum to
visit – we want to know.”
The Arriva Town Guides can be found at
arrivatownguides.co.uk.

Calling All Christmas Market Traders
GERAUD Markets
(UK) Ltd is pleased to announce that following on from the 2006
Christmas Market, it has been invited by Liverpool City Council to
run a similar event in the city in 2007. The event is set to take
place from Friday 7 December 2007 to Saturday 22 December 2007 in Williamson
Square and the surrounding area.
The market will
consist of traditional German style chalets complete with full
exterior lighting displays and will open from 11.00am to 5.00pm up
to and including close of business on Saturday 22 December 2007.
Whilst many of our regular traders are already committed to
returning to attend the market Geraud Markets (UK) Ltd is now
looking to provide trading opportunities from local businesses
thereby supporting the local and regional economy. The location is
expected to provide excellent prospects for traders in a city which
already enjoys a reputation for supporting events and markets.
Special Events Development Manager, Andrew Grimshaw, said:-
“In 2006 we put down a marker of intent for future years with
regards to Christmas Markets in the City. The location on Williamson
Square worked well and we have learnt lessons from the event.
We are
confident that with the support of a number of stakeholders in the
city we can make the event in 2007 a roaring success. We are looking
to compliment what we already have with local crafters and gift
sellers who may be looking to take their products to market. There
will be no better place to do this than in Liverpool”.
