Why Stowmarket
The case for Stowmarket
Stowmarket has held a market since Edward III granted its charter in 1347, and Mid Suffolk District Council calls it the district's main market town. Around 21,500 people live there.
It's well connected, with direct trains to London, Ipswich and Cambridge and the A14 on the doorstep. Next door, the 156-acre Gateway 14 business park is growing, and the council is reinvesting its income in the town centre, with funds to bring empty shops back into use and smarten up shopfronts.
