THE South Wiltshire Economic Partnership is holding its first open forum of 2003 today at the Guildhall in Salisbury.

SWEP holds two such events every year, giving south Wiltshire businesses and other organisations the opportunity to share information about the work of the partnership and to contribute to future plans.

Next week's forum will focus on two presentations.

A representative of property consultants Vail Williams will talk about the study undertaken on the supply and demand for employment land in Salisbury and south Wiltshire.

Then Myddelton and Major will speak about SWEP's online property database found at www. salisburybusinessspace.com

After the presentations the floor will be separated into four discussion groups, enabling SWEP members to discuss the work undertaken by Vail Williams. The meeting starts at 4.30pm.
