Nottingham BID

Nottingham Leisure BID
Raising the standards
for customers and business

The consultation process and early preparations

Your concerns and ideas

  • This proposal has been drawn up by listening to your business concerns, ideas and priorities, in addition to those of workers, residents and shoppers and those who should visit Nottingham, or used to, but currently don’t for a variety of reasons.
  • We also conducted in-depth research, carried out by an independent consultancy, New Horizon Ltd, that questioned people on the streets of Nottingham during the day and into the evening. The BID Development Group also sought the opinions of 350 leisure-orientated businesses across the City Centre through a detailed questionnaire.
  • Interactive briefing sessions have been held where potential levy payers were invited to select their priority actions from long lists of potential activities. The results of the research have been used to focus on the key issues so that the proposed BID will only provide services that you, the businesses, want.
  • Baseline service level agreements will be put place with Nottingham City Council and Nottinghamshire Police, providing
    guarantees to sustain existing service levels to ensure that the new services and projects will bring benefits and
    be additional to those already provided. These services will be constantly monitored on your behalf and effective and
    efficient working practices encouraged throughout the life of the BID.
  • Pubwatch and other sector group meetings, have been attended and one to one visits to key businesses have been made throughout the campaign to keep major investors attuned to how our plans are evolving. These visits will continue. If you want to arrange a visit or find out more about the BID. Simply phone Pat Parkes on 07852 999335 or e-mail info@nottinghambid.co.uk.
