This report outlines the feasibility of
extending the BID concept to West Wickham and Chislehurst town
centres
The Portfolio Holder for Renewal, Recreation and Housing noted the outcome of the initial feasibility study on the potential for a BID in West Wickham and Chislehurst Town Centres.
The Portfolio Holder supported in principal the formation of a BID in West Wickham at the earliest opportunity, bearing in mind the constraints and risks outlined in paragraph 3.12 of the BID report.
The Portfolio Holder recommended that the Executive approve the allocation of up to £75k from the Growth Fund to cover the costs of the proposed West Wickham BID project.
The Portfolio Holder made this decision because the report outlined the feasibility of extending the BID approach to West Wickham and Chislehurst town centres. The report explored the business case for the Council to invest in the introduction of further BID areas, and a summary of issues arising in each town, how a BID could assist with tackling these, potential barriers to a successful introduction of a BIDs in this town and a suggested road map to implementation.
The report recommended progressing with the BID in West Wickham.
