Most importantly, we want to maintain and improve the quality of life in the historic market town of Ross-on-Wye because we are passionate about ensuring the town is a vibrant place for residents, businesses and visitors.
What do we do?
Firstly, we provide and maintain a number of local services. For instance, the bandstand, arboretum and flower tubs. Secondly we are proactive in promoting and encouraging tourism to the town. E.g. visitors continue to enjoy the River Wye, independent shops and attractive streets.
