BID Vision and Principles In Mind“If Purley was a covered Shopping Mall it would have a manager, an investment programme,

marketing budget, ample parking and lettings centrally managed”

Bring some of the advantages of a mall to our High Street (TCM?)

5 areas of focus

Business engagement

Accessibility

Perception and image

Cleaner and greener

Safer Streets

Help Purley to be a nicer place to work, shop and keep shop

Attract inward funding to implement the change and add improvements

Need volunteers to visit or revisit businesses
