Southport BID
The Chapel Street BID area covers the retail core of Southport,
including Chapel Street, Wesley Street, Town Hall Gardens,
Corporation Street, and parts of Tulketh Street and Eastbank
Street. It also includes Marble Place and the Cambridge Arcade.
Consultation with retailers within the BID area identified that
increasing custom and consequently retail sales, is by far the most
important requirement to justify a BID levy.
The Chapel Street Area BID has been thought with one purpose: to
deliver more customers; more customers with greater disposable
income, staying longer and coming back, the result being improved
retail sales and profitability.
Activities identified to achieve this purpose will not only
result in payback for the businesses themselves, but will deliver
key benefits for their employees, shoppers and visitors. These
benefits include:
- increased custom
- increased trade
- a safer environment
- a cleaner environment
- an enhanced environment
- effective working partnership
- performance measurement
- additional financial investment
An unsuccessful ballot for the BID was held last year, and
further development work is now being undertaken.
