Birmingham Post – Business – Business Comment – City View – City View: Time for Digbeth to have its own BID – The Birmingham Post’s Anna Blackaby argues ‘maybe it’s time for the Digbeth business community to put its money where its mouth is and get its own BID up and running.’ A Business Improvement District a a Colmore Row could help to tackle a range of issues:
Top gripes include its lack of fee-free cash machine where you don’t have to fork out £1.75 for the pleasure of accessing your own hard-earned cash, dark streets which make an evening walk from the beautifully-refurbished Fazeley Studios back to the main bus routes of Digbeth High Street an uninviting prospect for lone female workers, and a distinct lack of signage which leaves the out-of-town visitor traipsing down from the Bull Ring markets in the vain hope of finding the promised land of Birmingham’s creative quarter they have read about in Creative Review.
totally agree with all your points.I did hear on the grapevine though that there is going to be a free cashpoint installed in the coach station.
