3. BID Vision and Principles In Mind
“If Purley was a covered Shopping Mall it would have a manager, an investment programme,
marketing budget, ample parking and lettings centrally managed”
Bring some of the advantages of a mall to our High Street (TCM?)
5 areas of focus
Business engagement
Accessibility
Perception and image
Cleaner and greener
Safer Streets
Help Purley to be a nicer place to work, shop and keep shop
Attract inward funding to implement the change and add improvements
4. GLA Grant Progress
BID Submitted in September
Not approved, but funds ring-fenced on clarifying a few remaining criteria
Assessment of impact
Community support
Project management
Budget
More Census
Update on revised submission
British BIDS
Additional Funds

5. MORE Census Work
GLA Feedback asks for aspirations 40% (from 36%) positive response to surveys
A bit ‘picky’ (usually 5-10%!) but appropriate to respond to help justify 2% levy
Need volunteers to visit or revisit businesses
A morning’s work – Please help
