District Centre Prosperity - Purley BID

As set out in the Part A report.

Decision type: Key

Reason Key: Affects more than 1 ward;

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Wards affected: Purley and Woodcote; Purley Oaks and Riddlesdown;

Notice of proposed decision first published: 06/10/2020

This decision will be taken under urgency procedures.

Reason for urgency:
Covid 19 has had a severe impact on the businesses in this designated area and Purley BID have been an essential part of the emergency response, the area needs have changed and it has never been more important to deliver a proposal that reflects a business led, agile response for renewal. It is this response which has led to the delay of the Purley BID proposal being submitted.

The BID have engaged and responded directly to their levy members concerns and needs and now have a proposal that reflect the want of the businesses. However, this means that in order to meet the needs of the ballot timeline we cannot wait until the Cabinet meeting being held on the 19 October and the decisions requested must be taken outside of the Cabinet – the Leader has delegated the decision to Cllr Manju Shahul-Hameed.

A report will still be taken to Cabinet to note the decisions.
