IT'S TIME TO JOIN US
We'd love to tell you more about why we think a BID is important for Peterborough, and hear your views. We are hosting a series of events and encourage you to attend one to meet other businesses, and find out more.
THIS IS OUR TIME
Niro is an independent retailer in Peterborough, a business specialising in designer and specialty clothing. Our involvement with Peterborough Positive enables independent business like ourselves to have their issues be voiced and heard. For instance we worked with the local authority so they understood how PSPOs (Public Space Protection Orders) could be more effectively enforced to ensure businesses were not penalised unfairly within the City Centre and making Peterborough a great city to visit & shop.Paul Moraji, Niro
We chose Peterborough as the home of our first coffee house, BE.AR. Bean Around, because we could see the great potential of the area. We wanted to be there from the start of the BID project and help shape the future of our local business community. We see the BID as being the best way to realise opportunities for growth and development for the city of Peterborough, both economically and visually, and turn it into a family friendly destination as well as a business and shopping area that people are drawn to. We look forward to working with the BID team to help us all achieve our aspirations for growth and community developmentGareth Norman, Bean Around Coffee House
