Established in 2012, the Town Centre BID is a not for profit company with a Board of Directors made up of representatives from local levy paying businesses. To date, they have invested almost £3million in raising the profile of the town centre. Successes have included an improved programme of Christmas attractions, including Bournemouth’s first outdoor ice-rink and the town’s spectacular seasonal illuminations. The establishment of a team of Town Rangers, who continue to make the town safer and more welcoming. Making it much easier for visitors to find their way around the town, they have developed a comprehensive way-finding map and signage system too. They have also provided and supported more year-round events in different locations across the town centre to add interest, vibrancy and increase footfall.
This event is aimed primarily at businesses in the Triangle and Poole Hill area but all town centre business owners or managers are welcome. Similar presentations on improving the town centre and the economic vitality of the local area will follow in the heart of the town centre and in Lansdowne in the next few weeks.
