Newham BID has set out the aims and objectives for the site over the next five years

Thursday 22nd June, 2023

Plans have been set out for the future of the Newham industrial estate in a document released earlier this month.

The team at Newham Business Improvement District (BID) has set out the aims and objectives for the site over the next five years.

Newham BID has been overseeing the industrial site since 2013 when businesses in the area voted to invest collectively in the scheme.

Last week, the Newham BID Committee published a new business plan, outlining the achievements in the area so far, plus a round-up of long-term targets.

It’s now up to businesses across the site to vote on whether they want the BID to continue working to improve and raise the profile of this thriving city quarter.

Some of the successes highlighted in the 26-page Newham BID business plan include the installation and maintenance of 32 security cameras in the area, as well as security patrols.

In addition, the BID has commissioned landscape architects to work on a series of planting schemes across the site.

The ongoing campaign by Newham BID to object to the Newham Road narrowing works under the Truro Loops Scheme because of safety concerns is also mentioned.

Mel Richardson, Newham BID manager, said: “We’ve already achieved so much and it would be great to have the opportunity to build on what we’ve started.

“Newham and the Port of Truro is a busy, vibrant and fantastic place to work and we want to continue to work with businesses, delivering projects we know will enhance and represent the interests of this unique area.”

Ballot papers need to be returned by July 6, by post. To find out more, see newhamtruro.co.uk/newham-bid/our-third-term
