£250,000 BID- funded cleaning team hits city’s streets
A cleaning team funded through a £250,000 investment from Liverpool BID Company has been deployed across the city centre.
The “BID Street Rangers” includes six staff who will set out to clean the areas owned by levy payers in the two BID districts – retail and leisure BID and commercial district BID.
Ian Strettle, chair, retail and leisure BID, said: “Liverpool BID Company is listening to its BID levy payers and tackling the issues that matter the most to us. Many of our businesses rely on strong footfall and the environment in which we trade in plays a huge part in that. Customers and visitors will simply not come if our footways and doorways are dirty.”
Bill Addy, chief executive, Liverpool BID Company, added: “Liverpool BID Company is committed to the trading environment in the BID areas – the success of our BID levy payers depends on it. With this latest investment we can now go that extra step and respond further and quickly to the needs of our levy payers.”
The BID Street Rangers have already set to work on land outside the Lyceum building on Bold Street and Exchange Flags, while businesses such as restaurant Olive on Castle Street and Dream Apartments on Victoria Street have been supported by the new team in recent weeks.
