Winchester BID

Winchester Business Improvement District

NEW! Winchester urban map to help find your way around the town.

Winchester's Business Improvement District (BID) team has had significant success in bringing benefits to Winchester city centre. Winchester City Centre Partnership has been full steam ahead to make the city centre the preferred place in which to shop, work, live and visit. Work to date has included;

· removal of over 60 of the largest acts of graffiti along with over 500 'tags'
· removal of 600,000 pieces of chewing gum from the pavements with added chewing gum proofing
· providing an additional £9,000 worth of floral displays
· purchased and distributed 150 new high specification radios for Shopwatch and PubWatch members resulting in increased crime detection rates
· sponsoring three additional PCSOs (Police Community Support Officers), doubling the existing provision
· sponsoring local festivals and events
· local marketing campaigns highlighting the shopping and services sector
· producing 30,000 retail maps for visitors to the city
· offering funding to assist in the creation and installation of a sculptural feature for Parchment Street
· ongoing work to install footfall counting cameras across the city centre, used to measure the 'health' of the city's commercial core.
· extended Christmas lighting displays through out the city centre

These projects are in response to the views of local businesses gathered at consultation events in 2006 and 2007. Businesses then voted to support a BID in the city centre for a five year period.

Details of the ballot result can be found below together with the Business Plan Proposal.
