Report DRR15/095

Consideration was given to an update on Town Centre Management and business support activities occurring July to October 2015.  The report also summarised priorities for the period up to the end of January 2016.

It was reported that Bromley was faring better than other boroughs in regard to the number of vacant units in town centres.  Vacancy rates had decreased and the public realm improvements had made a great difference in that visitors were now travelling into Bromley from Croydon.

The Bromley BID was currently two-thirds of the way through the ballot process.  To date there had been a 35% response rate.  The ballot would conclude on 5 November and the results would be conveyed to Members on 6 November 2015.

RESOLVED that the key developments and activities within the Town Centre Management and Business Support Team be noted.
