RETAIL AND LEISURE JOIN FORCES
TO CREATE A DESTINATION OF CHOICE
www.nottinghambid.com
Creating an enticing overall visitor experience
and one set of clear messages for the city has
led to the merger of the Nottingham Retail
and Leisure Business Improvement Districts
(BIDs) to form the Nottingham BID one of the largest BIDs in the UK.
It aims to make Nottingham a shopping
and leisure destination of choice.

CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT
Nottingham is a city that is unique for many reasons. We have many claims to fame - Chartists, Luddites,
Robin Hood, and more recently Wayne Manor being created in Wollaton Park - and now we have
become the first city to merge two Business Improvement Districts into one.
Two years ago the Nottingham Retail BID was created to represent the interests of city centre retail
businesses over a five year term. At this point the Nottingham Leisure BID had two years of its original
five year term remaining, having been established three years earlier to represent the interests of the
licensed businesses in the city centre.
During those overlapping two years, the BIDs started to work together in areas of common interest such
as promoting Nottingham’s independent businesses, creating a website for city visitors and working with
Nottingham City Council to improve parking.
What became clear was that there were far more areas of common interest than of difference between
the two BIDs and midway through 2012, the potential for the integration of the two BIDs was explored.
The advantages of a single BID are clear:
· One combined budget of £840,000 per annum*
· Economies of scale of operational costs
· More money going into frontline services
· One customer message
· One clear vision
· One strong voice
· One identity
But the biggest advantage for everyone is that we now represent Nottingham city centre
to the people who visit; either to shop, spend time in our restaurants, bars and clubs, watch
sport, or visit the Castle and other places of interest.
This integration has now been completed and the document that you are reading sets out the
objectives as we move forward for the next three years as one integrated BID.
As Chairman I want to assure you that the Nottingham BID will be doing all that it can to make
our city a more prosperous place for its members and we look forward to working with you all.
Yours faithfully
Jeff Allen

In 2012, the Retail and Leisure BIDs piloted
a joint project - ‘the Independent Business
Campaign’. The project showed the benefits
of the leisure and retail premises working
together and is set to continue to grow in
years to come.
October 2012 saw the launch of an exciting new
event, 48 Hours of Fashion, showcasing the city’s
boutiques, department stores and hair/beauty
salons. A combined BID has enabled an exciting
expansion for this event in the future with leisure
venues offering alternative backdrops in 2013.
Food and Drink events have been well received
in Nottingham by businesses and customers
alike. Retailers also benefit from increased
footfall following such promotions.
Dedicated campaigns to promote this sector
will continue.

TREATS SCHEME
In the last five years, Retail and Leisure BID
events have attracted over 500,000 extra
visitors to the city. From cultural events to
Christmas activities, there are attractions for
all age groups and sections of the community.
The BID will continue to promote the city via
integrated campaigning to raise awareness.
Launched in 2011, the Leisure and Retail BIDs
pulled together to create a consumer website
(www.itsinnottingham.com). It tells visitors
everything they need to know about Nottingham
city centre’s shopping and entertainment
facilities. It has proved a great success and is
to continue as a key marketing platform for
BID visitor experience messages and it is also
strengthened by a powerful social media back-up.
Part of the consumer site, VIP Nottingham
provides discounts, treats and competitions to
its members, downloaded as printable vouchers
or direct to a mobile. The scheme is free for
customers to join and free for BID businesses
to participate in. With over 7,500 members
signed up in the first year alone, it’s a great
opportunity to attract new customers and build
repeat business.

Working closely with a local PR agency, the BID
aims to create positive news stories that raise
Nottingham city centre’s profile locally and
nationally. BID events are supported by press
releases and interviews to ensure maximum
awareness. Online and offline media further
afield have also been targeted with general
interest editorial about the city’s businesses
and services.
Scheduled to launch in 2013, an exciting
new mobile app will add a new dimension to
the It’s In Nottingham digital experience.
Offering up-to-the-minute information such
as the ‘near me’ tool gives quick and easy access
to nearby retail and leisure businesses and their
VIP promotions. This will be a must-have tool
for all smart-phone users.
Conferences and other events can give a
huge boost to the city’s economy, dramatically
increasing trade for local retail, leisure and
hospitality businesses. Each year the BID
provides funding into a long term strategic
partnership project to attract major events and
conferences to the city, aiming to drive visitor
expenditure into the local economy with an
impact of £13 million and creating 200 jobs.

PLACE MANAGEMENT
CREATING A SAFE, CLEAN AND WELCOMING EXPERIENCE IN NOTTINGHAM CITY CENTRE
IS A KEY BID OBJECTIVE, BOTH DAY AND NIGHT. THE BID’S FRONT LINE AND SUPPORT TEAMS
ARE WORKING HARD TO IMPROVE THE ENVIRONMENT, ACCESS, SAFETY AND PARKING.
STREET
AMBASSADORS
BUSINESS CRIME
REDUCTION
There’s nothing like a personal touch to ensure
businesses get value from the BID and customers
feel welcome. That’s why the BID’s team of Street
Ambassadors are on duty throughout the day and
evening, Monday to Saturday. As well as providing
BID businesses with support, information and
regular updates from the BID, they report safety,
cleaning and other on-street issues to our relevant
partners and ensure these are followed up, even
removing minor graffiti where required. They
are the friendly face of Nottingham city centre,
providing advice and directions to the public, as
well as information about events.
In the original research for both the Retail and
Leisure BIDs, crime and anti-social behaviour
were identified as key issues by both visitors
and business owners. The combined BID
has responded by providing discounted
membership to the city’s business crime
reduction partnership - Nottingham Businesses
Against Crime (NBAC). From 2013, the BID
will be taking responsibility for the business
crime reduction partnership in the city,
including the provision of the city centre
radio scheme. This will be through a new
upgraded radio system which will be provided
at a discounted cost to BID businesses.

Nottingham’s Taxi Marshals are there to help
people on their journey home from the city centre.
Available every Friday and Saturday between
10pm and 4am, they provide efficient queue
management at taxi ranks to minimise the risk
of disputes and provide a friendly farewell.
Since 2008 the teams have put in over 18,000
hours of service and will continue to do so into
2013 and beyond.
10 PLACE MANAGEMENT
To attract visitors it’s important to keep the city
uniformly clean and tidy. The BID wants to make
sure there is a consistently well-groomed look
and feel right across the city centre. Therefore,
the BID have funded a specialist pavement
cleaning machine which operates overnight,
bringing the streets back to their original
condition. This is a joint project with Nottingham
City Council, who provide the staffing required
to operate the machine.

increase the number of new visitors to the
area, but also encourage return visits.

SIGNAGE
& MAPS
In 2012 the Retail and Leisure BIDs worked
hand-in-hand and commissioned an
independent and much needed review of
the city’s parking provision. Many elements
of the report were actioned by Nottingham
City Council, which consequently led to price
reductions for on-street parking. The BID
will continue to work with parking providers
and the city’s sustainable transport offer, to
create ease of access for all.
As well as making it easy for people to get in to
Nottingham city centre, the BID want to help
them get around and make the most of their
visits, discovering new shopping, dining and
leisure experiences. The ‘It’s In Nottingham’
app will provide digital signposting to visitors,
and will be supported by printed maps to aid
navigation around the heart of the city.

STREET
PASTORS
The Leisure BID supported the set-up of what
is now the largest Street Pastor scheme in the
UK. The Street Pastors are a team of volunteers
who provide on-street support for the city’s night
time visitors every Friday and Saturday night,
engaging with people on the streets, providing
a reassuring and caring presence in the city.
The Street Pastor scheme in Nottingham
is coordinated by the Malt Cross Trust, an
ecumenical project and cafe bar. Each year the
BID provides funding to help with training and
equipment costs. It will continue to do so through
to 2015 as a recent Leisure BID survey showed this
service as hugely important to the city.
The BID has also provided funding towards the
cost of the Safe Space, a place where Street
Pastors can take people who need additional
assistance, such as first aid or a place to wait if
they have been separated from their friends.
BUSINESS
COMMUNICATION
The BID will provide online information
for all BID businesses alongside regular
email and printed communications to keep
everyone up-to-date with BID delivery and
relevant industry news.

TRAINING
Since 2008 training has been provided to
numerous employees in BID businesses.
For example, with partner Fraser Brown, the
BID offered free ‘Due Diligence’ training for
staff working in licensed premises. Having so
many businesses involved in the BID gives
it strong buying power. Therefore, the BID
is able to negotiate substantial discounts on
many of the courses, such as first aid, social
media marketing and food safety level two,
many of which the BID further subsidises
for its members. These courses are hugely
popular and will continue through to 2015.

PURPLE FLAG
Purple Flag is a national award scheme that
recognises excellence in the night-time
management of town and city centres. In the
same way that a Blue Flag marks a high quality
beach, a Purple Flag is the sign of a place that
offers a good night out in a safe, pleasant
environment. In June 2010, Nottingham
was one of only nine places in the UK to
win this prestigious award, and still remains
one of only two Purple Flag locations in the
East Midlands.
The BID will continue to work hard to retain this
prestigious award and make people aware of it
and the benefits related to this status.
THE PURPLE FLAG MARK IS NOT ONLY A SIGN OF QUALITY,
IT’S ALSO A USEFUL MARKETING TOOL THAT PROMOTES

REPRESENTING THE
LICENCED TRADE
It’s important for Nottingham’s licensed
businesses to be properly represented when
dealing with issues which have a direct impact
on their industry. The BID help by collating
views and experiences, then coordinating
a coherent response to consultations and
changes in legislation, such as changes to
the Licensing Act and PPL music charges.
We have even actively lobbied on behalf of
businesses at a national level to ensure the
voice of the licensed trade is heard.
16 LICENSING
PARTNERSHIP
WORKING
The BID works closely with Nottinghamshire
Police, Nottingham City Council, the
Universities, Street Pastors, the Nottingham
Crime and Drugs Partnership and other
partners, acting as a link between them and
licensed businesses in the city centre. This
fosters good relationships and information
sharing.
BEST BAR NONE
Best Bar None is a Home Office-supported
national scheme, aimed at promoting responsible
management and operation of licensed
premises. Managing the Nottingham scheme,
the BID continues to encourage BID businesses
to achieve accreditation in this annual scheme,
demonstrating to customers that they care about
providing a safe and welcoming environment
for them.
The 2011/2012 scheme saw 42 venues achieving
accreditation; we aim to grow this by at least
20% year on year.
The licensed trade faces unique
challenges, including changing legislation and
a need to balance commercial concerns with a
duty to promote responsible drinking.
The BID enables better communication
between businesses, licensing authorities
and other stakeholders.

PROJECTED INCOME
AND EXPENDITURE
This is an exciting time for the Nottingham BID. During 2013-15 it will be building on the
outstanding achievements of each BID and consolidating them to deliver an even better visitor
experience. Seamlessly linking the retail and leisure economies, this integrated approach will
create major opportunities, not only for cooperative marketing, but also for sharing of ideas and
resources.
The merger brings with it a number of benefits to BID members including increasing the amount
of money spent on front-line projects to help boost business in the city centre without it costing
businesses any more than they previously paid.

18 BUDGETED INCOME AND EXPENDITURE
KEY
The definition of
‘Retail’
for the purposes of the
Nottingham BID is any
rateable commercial unit
from which goods and/or
services are sold through an
interface with customers.
Each ‘Retail’ property, including
those previously referred to
as ‘Leisure’, within the original
Retail BID area with a Rateable
Value of £15,000 or more, that
is subject to Business Rates,
is required by law to pay an
annual levy of 1.25% of its
Rateable Value until the
end of the five year term of
the BID (December 2015).
The maximum
amount due
from any single
businesses will be
£15,000.
FACTS
ABOUT THE
LEVY
3%
The levy is annually
increased by up to
meaning that the
applicable full levy rate for
2013
is 1.33% of the
Rateable Value.
Properties that are used
for charitable purposes or
that are trading from within
managed shopping centres
will be entitled to a
discounted rate of
0.79%
of the Rateable Value in 2013.
Any business that
falls outside the
BID boundary or is
underneath the
£15,000 Rateable Value
threshold will be able
to make a voluntary
contribution to the BID
and still benefit
from its projects
and services.
Businesses previously in
the Leisure BID will pay a
lower rate of levy in 2013
than they did before:
1.33%
rather than 1.69%*
whilst businesses with
charitable status or those
based within a managed
shopping centre will be subject
to a levy of 0.79%.

The Nottingham BID Committee, January 2013.
THE BID EXISTS TO BENEFIT YOU –
THE BUSINESSES THAT TRADE
WITHIN ITS BOUNDARIES.
THAT’S WHY THE BID WOULD
LOVE YOUR INPUT AND
COMMITMENT TO MAKE IT WORK
BID COMMITTEE
The BID Committee is made up of levy paying businesses together with
co-opted members. The BID Committee is elected annually, subject to its
rotation process, and meets four times a year.
ADVISORY GROUPS
The new Nottingham BID has put in place three Advisory Groups,
each of which focuses on a key aspect of the BID strategy:
• Place Marketing
• Place Management
• Licensing
They aim to shape and drive the projects that the BID operationally
delivers, ensuring they achieve maximum benefits for the BID businesses.
The Chair of each group is also a Director and reports from the Group
into the BID Committee. Membership of an Advisory Group can be
extremely rewarding, as well as providing a useful forum for networking
and sharing ideas.
HAVE YOUR SAY
You don’t have to join our BID Committee or our Advisory
Groups to get your voice heard. We regularly consult with
businesses in the BID area to get their views on key issues.
We’re also keen to hear your suggestions for additional
activities or initiatives which you think would benefit your
business and others.
If you would like to arrange a discussion with
one of our team, please get in touch.
