We propose that the BR BID:

• Leads two BIG events per annum, which can be ticketed

• Focuses on one “event” at Christmas, another at Directors’ discretion

• Focuses on infrastructure and sensory experiences that can be visited and enjoyed over longer periods

• Focuses on infrastructure and experiences that benefit the Night Time Economy, such as light installations

• Focuses on infrastructure and experiences that equally benefit streets with no performance licences

• Focuses on infrastructure and experiences that are not weather dependant

• Develops and delivers unique events that attract media attention and aren’t replicated locally

• BID supports existing events financially: helping the organisers develop their events, and ensure businesses benefit from increased footfall

• Continues in its efforts to re-purpose top two floors of Fitzleet Car Park into something fabulous!

We propose that the BR BID:

• Continues to encourage new traders to add variety and expand the range of stalls

• Continues to work in the best interests of our BID businesses, balanced with the need to develop market

• Continues to offer BID businesses the opportunity to deliver from the market, so they benefit from the footfall and can signpost customers to their established locations

• Invests in specific promotion campaigns: banners, develops the Facebook page, places adverts in coach magazines, uses poster sites to promote the general market 

• Continues with scheduled Thursday and Saturday Markets: Saturdays all year, and Thursdays 1 March – End December 

We propose that the BR BID:

• Allocates a representative to sit on any collaborative forum or working party to take the new branding and narrative forward

• Allocates appropriate levels of funding, once there has been thorough consultation

• Actively and visibly supports the proposed promotional campaign and narrative

• Integrates appropriate elements of the proposed narrative, colour schemes, key words, images into our own endeavours

We propose that the BR BID:

• Works with ADC / BRTC to explore feasibility of an exhibition and workshop space within the town centre

• Works with landlords and agents to ‘dress’ empty shops with window displays and property information for potential new businesses
