We want our district to be ‘future focused’, by enhancing our digital connectivity, improving the District’s environmental impact, encouraging investment and supporting business sustainability.
- Deliver a reduced cost business and training room space in the town centre.
- Secure additional funding for the delivery of business support programmes and projects, including accessing opportunities from Council-led projects.
- Work in partnership with Council officers to represent business interests as part of the regeneration of the High Street.
- Monitor and share footfall data to monitor movement to and from the area.
What’s coming 2024 and beyond
Footfall and Movement
The BID is looking at different ways to offer our businesses increased digital connectivit, giving all businesses access to key data to monitor dwell, engagement and visit time. We have engaged with several partners to look at options and will continue to find the best solution for investment/funding into 2024.
Investment
We continue into 2024 working with property owners, developers and agents to reactivate and brighten empty spaces, encouraging investment and reducing opportunities for anti-social behaviour.
