North Notts BID is a proud ambassador of our district and want residents and visitors alike to feel that this is a real destination of choice for business, work, shopping, leisure, study and to live.
We all have the same aim – to create a strong economic and social future, and a happy & prosperous North Nottinghamshire in these ways:
Accessibility
Collaborate with Bassetlaw District Council to offer parking incentives for seasonal shopping and on key event days in our town centres
Encourage better public transport links between our towns and villages and Retford and Worksop
Partner with Stagecoach and other local bus companies to offer enhanced bus services during busy times and on dates of key events
Lobby relevant partners to join forces in supporting rural businesses to access cheaper, faster broadband
Clean and Welcoming
Ensure our district is kept clean, tidy and brighter through regular maintenance support, helping to create a great first impression
Dress our town centres throughout the seasons to ensure they are attractive and welcoming, encouraging people to eat, drink, visit and shop locally
Encourage litter and waste reduction with the introduction of more segregated bins
Provide additional baskets and planters in the gateways to our town centres
Support the development of promotions and trails such as The Big Lunch/Tea – an ‘eat out to help out’-style promotion to support our hospitality sector during quieter months
Showcase Events
Continue to deliver our flagship events, including North Notts FoodFest, Party in the Square and the Christmas lights switch-ons
Introduce more events and festivals like our DIno Discovery day, which proved to be a huge success in May 2022
Celebrate events that promote equality and diversity within our local community, offering sponsorship and event management support
Health and Wellbeing
Develop a horticultural farm project with schools to improve mental health, eating habits and knowledge of where food comes from
Deliver assemblies and talks, led by key business leaders, to reassure students that business opportunities are achievable and available locally
Establish ‘Healthy Sunday’ events and activities in our town centres to bring together physical, mental and spiritual health suppliers
The Business Voice
Our objective is to provide a powerful voice and formal partnership for our businesses across North Nottinghamshire that has never existed before.
As the UK’s first area-wide, place-shaping BID, all eyes are on us. A BID will enable us to put North Nottinghamshire on the map as a ‘go to’ destination that is easily accessible to visitors and local businesses alike.
