Falkirk BID aims for another five years

Falkirk Business Improvement District (BID) recently completed its first three-year term and is now asking local firms to give them the opportunity to continue for a further five-year period.
First launched in 2007, BID represents the interests of town centre traders and works alongside Falkirk Council in delivering projects which benefit both firms and the public.
The introduction of taxi marshalls, a re-launched monthly farmer’s market and visual enhancements such as floral arrangements and a graffiti response team are among the projects successfully introduced.
BID covers the main shopping area of the town, from Garrison Place in the north, Cow Wynd and Williamson Street in the south, Cockburn Street in the west and Bellevue Street in the east.A minimum of 25 per cent of businesses in the area are required to take part in the ballot, with more than 50 per cent voting in favour, if the project is to continue. The taxi marshalls have attracted a range of opinions from people using the taxi rank. Some are concerned about the cost of the marshalls and who is paying for them.
