Salisbury City Centre Management

City Centre Management (CCM) was established to enhance the vibrancy and vitality of Salisbury city centre. Every year the Partnership strives to achieve this by working with Salisbury District Council and local businesses and organisations to ensure that the city is clean, attractive and successful.

CCM is a Partnership with 136 members, including Salisbury District Council, retailers, local media, estate agents, hotels and public houses. In addition, the Chamber of Commerce and Federation of Small Businesses are both members of CCM.

The CCM also works closely with other partnerships to realise its work programme and these include South Wiltshire Community Safety Partnership, South Wiltshire Economic Partnership and the Salisbury Tourism Partnership. These relationships are essential to prevent duplication and to make best use of resources available to the benefit of the community.

Together we aim to enhance the vibrancy and vitality of Salisbury city centre.

Testimonial from Jon Osgood, Old George Mall Manager.

"The Old George Mall was one of the founding members of Salisbury City Centre Management. We continue to support CCM to help in its efforts to raise the vitality and viability of the City.

CCM plays an important role in strategic planning and marketing of the City. Through its many partners it has been able to form a uniform and progressive plan to enhance the City for all those who live, work and visit."
