Officer Comment Council's Retail Liaison Officer is very happy to support Chambers of Commerce but does not initiate the establishment of a Chamber. This generally comes from a few local businesses wanting to work together for the betterment of the retail strip. A Chamber is unlikely to be successful if it is not driven by interested local businesses.
