A new organisation set up to look after the interests of Colchester's shopkeepers will advise the town's new management company on the needs of retailers.
The Colchester Retail Association (CRA) will also work closely with the council on traffic, parking, cleaning and other issues.
It will collaborate with the Town Centre Partnership on Christmas lighting, town signs and trading hours.
The CRA's aim is "for the retailers' voice to be heard in all the town's forums".
