Business Parks can be remote to residential centres, suffer from a lack of services by the statutory authorities and be subject to crime and vandalism amongst many other issues, making it difficult to attract staff, presenting an untidy and neglected appearance and a burden on the businesses in terms of safety and security both for the business itself and for their staff.     

A BID allows businesses to address local issues and concerns such as, 

Ø       public transport provision

Ø       a cleaner and improved environment

Ø       safety and security issues - CCTV, mobile patrols, lighting,

Ø       waste management

Ø        utilities

Ø        renewables

Ø       staff recruitment and retention

Ø       local facilities 

whilst promoting 

Ø       business to business selling

Ø       greater efficiencies through local procurement

Ø       collectively invested money which works harder and smarter - sharing costs and responsibilities

Ø       the opportunity to attract additional funding

Ø       strong and effective private - public partnerships

Ø       joint effort and drive towards a shared vision

Ø       a competitive regional advantageØ       improved private and public sector investment and

Ø       a strong local voice for business
