Positive image

The BID works with many stakeholders to create a positive image of the city…

The BID’s rolling power washing programme has covered over 25km of pavements since it began in 2010. The programme, which covers high footfall areas, operates in the early hours of Saturday and Sunday mornings. It’s imperative that the city is presented in the best light possible in order to maintain a positive image.

Promotional Tools

PrestonAtNight and ShopPreston.co.uk are assets used by the BID to promote both the city’s leisure and retail outlets…

Footfall

Preston City Centre has three electronic footfall cameras which count the number of pedestrians passing on any given hour. The BID has weekly reports which show key hours.

Winter Planting

Providing a splash of colour, along key routes, is vital when winter arrives. The BID annually funds a winter planting scheme to lift the centre in winter.
