BID Sunderland Real money for real change A chance to shape the city centre’s future Having taken a lead role in developing Sunderland’s BID proposition, businesses now have the power to make sure its aims are realised. A ‘yes’ vote will see at least £3.4m being invested in increasing footfall, and making Sunderland city centre a busier, cleaner, safer, more vibrant and better marketed city. The Sunderland BID is a private sector initiative driven by businesses for businesses. This Business Plan is built on in-depth consultations with local companies and representative business associations alongside public service providers including Sunderland City Council, the Police, Street Pastors and University of Sunderland. The BID has received full support, endorsement and financial assistance from the City Council. 12 Moving forward together As well as tackling the existing issues affecting Sunderland today, a key factor of the BID is its ability to complement the many future developments planned in the city centre in the coming years. With an estimated £30m of investment being put into these projects, they present huge opportunities in the visitor economy and for city centre businesses. The BID’s role is to make sure these opportunities are fully capitalised on. What we have already achieved The concept of a BID was proposed by Sunderland Business Ltd, a not-for-profit organisation founded and led by leading city businesses and organisations who want to help improve the city’s economy and tackle some of the challenges facing it. In developing the Business Plan the BID Team researched and learned from successful BIDs elsewhere in the country. Sunniside Leisure The feedback received from independent, regional and national businesses operating in Sunderland city centre has been vitally important and has shaped the content and priorities in this Business Plan. www.bidsunderland.co.uk
