Year 1 Plans
Our Colchester now have 6 focus groups established to investigate best in class delivery and make detailed proposals for each of the following focus areas:
  • Cleanliness
  • Colchester In Bloom 
  • Marketing 
  • Empty Units
  • Night Time Economy (Pubwatch)
  • Independent Businesses 
Each focus group has been created in line with the key themes of the business plan and the issues highlighted by the BID levy payers. Each of the focus groups are chaired by an Advisory Group or Board member and the identified members have been selected for their professional background, experience and insights in mind.

The hard work that will be put into each group will produce best in class proposals allowing the Board of Directors to decide upon the very best option for the BID area, leading the way to improvements throughout the BID Zone.
