I am delighted to present to you the Winsford 1-5 Business Environment Group's proposal for a Business Improvement District on our estate between 2006 and 2011.
This proposal is the result of months of consultation, discussion and analysis on various proposals that have been circulated amongst the business community.
I do sincerely hope that you have felt involved in this process, and this, the final Business Improvement District proposal reflects what you would like to see delivered over the next five years.
I am also pleased to see the early support for this proposal that has been given by many companies on the estate, and you can read some of their comments and quotes in each of the sections of this proposal.
This proposal is the next step in the evolution of the Winsford 1-5 Business Environment Group. In fact it will be a defining moment. The point at which 'we', the business community take control of our own future destiny. Independent from the ups and downs of public sector financial support. Free from the ties and limitations of government grants and devoid of any political interference, with no one to answer to but ourselves.
As businesses we have a choice to make. A 'yes' vote will ensure that we continue to work together, in partnership, to further develop Winsford Industrial Estate into the premier industrial estate in Cheshire and the North West. Where crime is low, customers pleased to visit, employees happy to work and the business community is connected and able to speak as one.
A 'no vote' will result in the benefits that we have gained
in recent years being lost. Benefits such as signage and
landscape improvements,
inter-trading, joined up thinking on crime and security
and our ability to lobby for change.
I would therefore ask you to carefully read this proposal, and join with me and vote in favour of this Business Improvement District for Winsford Industrial Estate.
I truly look forward to continuing to work with you over the next five years, and towards improving our trading environment along with enhancing the competitiveness of all our companies.
Yours sincerely,
Gary Chester
