As a result of recent consultation and very positive discussions with businesses, we are keen to progress to the next stage and produce a Business Plan for the BID. To do this we need to establish a strong steering group to take it forward. This is where we need you!
Already a number of town centre retailers and businesses have expressed an interest in getting involved including The Mall, Primark and Marks & Spencer.
Ideally the group would be made up of people representing the interests of range of town centre business sectors and also include people from a variety of geographical areas of the town.
We are particularly keen that independent retailers outside of The Mall, the evening economy and cafe/restaurant trade are represented, as well as non-retail businesses and organisations that operate in the town centre.
We are hoping to organise the first meeting for volunteers for the end of November, so if you are interested in getting involved and can spare a little time to help get things going then please let us know as soon as possible by calling 01254 588958, emailing regeneration@blackburn.gov.uk or you can leave a comment below.
