Colour and Cleanliness

“ I have been really impressed by how the team at Your Eastbourne BID have worked to integrate culture into the town centre. Both the Towner and the BID know that culture – of all types – is instrumental in supporting a town’s economy, and I know that the Towner, theatres and cultural sector working with the BID will inject colour into Eastbourne and benefit us all.”

Colour and
Cleanliness

You have told us how important it is to inject colour into our town centre whilst improving the standards of maintenance.

Your Eastbourne BID will provide a colourful, tidy town centre that visitors will want to keep coming back to enjoy…

Your Eastbourne BID has:

• Installed 2,000m of colour-coordinated evening lighting, and 1,500m of bunting throughout the town centre

• Installed Christmas lighting, covering the whole town centre

• Installed over 100 striking planters throughout the town centre, including both wooden and railing planters

• Designed and installed attractive window vinyls in empty shop windows

• Designed and installed 130 lamppost banners to promote different shopping districts within the town

• Created and installed cross street banners for major events and activities

• Removed graffiti tags across the town centre

• Coordinated a town centre grot spot team working with the local Council and Police to clean up fly tipping, postering and graffiti

What a YES vote would mean for you:

We will continue to provide and maintain all the above

PLUS:

Injecting Colour:

• We will ensure each BID area is coordinated with an attractive visual identity, using colour coordinated planters, signs, entrances and lighting to liven up the town centre

• We will continue to provide improvements to the Christmas light display

Tackling Vacant Units:

• We will work with agents and landlords to ensure that vacant premises are maintained and presented in a smart and tidy way so that they do not detract from the appeal of the area

Street Cleaning

• In year one of the new term, we will purchase a bubble gum removal machine for the use of BID businesses

• We will continue our partnership work with Eastbourne Borough Council to identify and remove grot spots, graffiti tags, cigarette rubbish and fly tipping
