A PHOTOSHOOT showing the district at its finest has taken place as part of a project to attract more businesses and tourists to Maldon.

Maldon District Council has hired marketing firm Thinkingplace to hold consultations and surveys and come up with ways to create a “narrative” for Maldon.

As part of the £30,000 project, a photoshoot was held across Maldon and pictures will be used to “tell the story of the district”.

Members of the council’s planning and licensing committee are set to receive an update on the project at a meeting tonight.

The planning and licensing committee takes place tonight at 7.30pm at the council offices in Princes Road, Maldon.
