You Backed the BID!

The Clapham business community has become the 40th Business Improvement District (BID) in London following a majority vote by Clapham based businesses.

Clapham is set to become an even better place to do business as it was voted yes in favour of setting up a new Business Improvement District (BID), following a postal ballot on Friday 25 July 2014.

The result was announced on by Lambeth Council who carried out the ballot with 79% of businesses voting in favour and 89% in rateable value also in agreement. The ballot had a turnout of 40%.

Welcoming and Safe

The Welcoming & Safe group recognises that a thriving Clapham must be managed effectively to ensure the safety of all those who live, work and visit the area. We have 4 key project areas:

Employ Clapham wardens or police – The group ensures there is a form of warden or police presence in the area at weekends to help manage the night time economy. At present the group is looking into the provision of a dedicated police service in Clapham.

Introduce a business radio system – The group will encourage businesses to sign up to a radio system to help businesses keep both the police and other businesses alert.

Support the Clapham night-time hub – The BID is committed to ensuring the continued running of the night-time hub. The group ensures funding for the service and suggests how the hub can be improved further.

Achieve high standards – The Purple Flag status for Clapham is a goal this group will continually work towards. It will also establish a Clapham Best Bar None awards programme.

Chair – Dave Hanson

Date and location of next meeting TBA
