Interesting that it says
What will the Newbury BID deliver?
It's up to the businesses in the BID area to decide
I would have thought deciding why the money needs to be raised would be one of the first items on the project plan. |

No danger of that!!! I've said that it's time for everyone to work together in the interests of the district. If the administration decide to carry on as they were prior to the election, we will continue to provide an alternative voice. |

So no changes for Newbury then? Can we have the CCTV debacle cover up review now then? Can we see the final plans for the pigeon Loft Pavillion too? Etc Etc? |

It looks like the Newsletter has attracted some comments which is a positive result - the more communication about the town centre the better if we are ever to increase transparency and work together for a brighter future. |

It has attracted a lot of interest as well. I created the PDF and put it on the Town Centre website at approx 2.00pm yesterday afternoon (8th May). By 10.00pm today (9th May) it had been downloaded 312 times. |

How do they expect any credibility when they can't spell "improvement" (bottom of page 2). I have long suspected that the town planners don't know the meaning of improvement when it comes to Newbury. The fact that they can't even spell it correctly seems to back this up. |

I'm sure they know the meaning of improvement, it's just a different meaning from the one you or I might use. |

Has the BID got anything to do with town planners? |

No, the BID will be down to the businesses within the defined BID area. It will be up to them how to spend any money raised. Before the businesses vote for / against the BID a plan will be put forward outlining the objectives; the BID committee will have to deliver on the plan. |
