Executive Board Members

Each year the Executive Board approves a 12 month business plan based on the annual objectives set out by the five year plan in the BID business plan voted for by the potential BID levy payers in 2018.

The Executive Board meets for approximately 2 hours on a bi-monthly basis to discuss town centre issues and the delivery of the business plan.  The BID Manager reports in to this meeting where the members receive reports and proposals from the steering groups and progress updates and priority issues for lobbying.

Board Members may be asked to represent the BID at wider town centre meetings and events and be asked to make statements on behalf of the BID.
