18 Shopfront Improvements Scheme - Analysis pdf icon PDF 121 KB

Since March 2019, the Borough Council has been delivering a Shopfront Improvement Scheme to help support local independent retailers. With the current scheme coming to an end on 30 September 2021, this report provides a brief update on the scheme and sets out proposals for an analysis of the scheme to identify lessons learnt and to gain an appreciation of its economic impact.

Decision:

(Report of Chief Executive)

 

The report provided an update on the current Shopfront Improvement Scheme which was due to end on 30 September 2021.  Proposals for an analysis of the Scheme to identify lessons learnt and to gain an appreciation of its economic impact were also set out.

 

It was proposed that the analysis focused on the three key areas of:

 

(a)             the process of applying for a shopfront improvement grant

(b)             support and advice during the delivery of the shopfront projects

(c)             the overall economic impact of the scheme

 

Following consideration by the Economic Regeneration Advisory Board, the Cabinet Member for Economic Regeneration resolved that:

 

(1)             the report be noted; and

 

(2)             the proposed approach to analysing the Shopfront Improvement Scheme, as detailed in 1.2 of the report and summarised above, be agreed.
