Harnessing the Power of Partnership

As a body dedicated to constant improvement of the district, the BID will concentrate on bringing together our key businesses with the two local authorities, the Mayor and Transport for London.

Together we can agree, over time, to adopt and finance the capital projects that need to be undertaken to ensure that the district continues to operate as an International Centre.

But the power of partnership extends beyond business and government. The BID will actively engage with other elements of the Knightsbridge and Brompton Road community so that projects are selected and designed with clear understanding and input from residents and other institutions and organisations. Experience with other BIDs has shown that a positive working relationship with local residents is essential for the smooth delivery of the objectives within the Business Plan.

From the initial Feasibility Study, the promotors of the BID have engaged with resident, amenity and community groups as well as local councillors and the major cultural institutions nearby.

Everyone who invests, works and lives in our district has a clear interest in its future. By working together, we can deliver the improvements that are needed to ensure that that future is bright for us all.

The Business Improvement District will be a voice for business interests in the district. But any vision for the district can only be achieved with the support of partners in the local community and local authorities.

And the BID can be a powerful partner to help achieve the ambitions of others in the community, for example through contributing to local sustainability goals, recruitment and training for local people and ensuring that the wider community benefits from the benefits that flow from a successful International Centre.
