A market town which is trying to beat the credit crunch before it bites is holding an event to discuss how businesses can get help and help each other.
Reepham Town Council has organised Sustainable Reepham, Beating the Credit Crunch Together, which will see local businesses, Broadland District Council, Norfolk Rural Community Council offer information and advice.
It is part of a campaign to keep the town sustainable.
The event is billed with the slogan 'Keep Reepham Out of the Red' because, despite the financial crisis, the town has so far been relatively unscathed and in fact saw a new shop open last month.
