You wanted the BID to invest in more proactive projects to remove gulls from the BID area as well as to make the city more appealing through the introduction of hanging baskets. You also wanted a collective cardboard shredding and trade waste recycling service.
For the first time, we will work in partnership with other agencies to assist in greatly reducing the numbers of gulls in the city centre and the problems that they cause.
We will bulk purchase and install hanging baskets on business frontages and in suitable communal areas to ensure that the businesses, streets and the city centre as a whole is a pleasant environment to walk around and work in.
To reduce the length of time that trade waste bags are on the streets waiting to be collected, we will work with partners to try to ensure that trade waste recycling is collected quicker than at present and offer a cardboard recycling scheme for any participating businesses. Dependent on take up and suitable service suppliers, the aim is to provide this either free of charge or heavily subsidised.
businesses as well as install street lights in the Broad Street trees and lamppost columns in Foregate Street, The Foregate and The Cross.
We will work with the landlords of empty units and other partners to encourage more Pop Up Shops / Offices, and dress their windows with a stylish vinyl finish to make the property and area more vibrant.
