Scrutiny
Considerations
The Committee received a presentation from the Chair and Manager of Cambridge BID.
The Director of Environment made the following comments in response to
the report:
i.
Council Officers had a good working relationship
with BID Officers.
ii.
The BID undertook deep cleansing work in the city
centre in addition to that undertaken by the Council’s Community
Engagement and Enforcement Team.
In response to Members’ questions the BID Manager said the following:
i.
The BID worked closely with Cambridge Live at a
strategic and operational level. There were also close links with the City
Council. A meeting would occur in future with other stakeholders such as
Tourist Information.
ii.
Pop up shops were welcome on principle in the Grand
Arcade, but were not a priority as they were time/resource intensive projects.
A pop up shop had previously been set up as a fixed term project to use an
empty unit, but there were not many empty premises in Cambridge.
