The majority of the ideas were given cross party support by the councillors present and well received. Then, yesterday we had a follow up meeting where WDDC staff presented their responses to the suggestions (and reasons why some could not happen) but after a good bit of teamwork between councillors, the DBID and the Chamber several of these suggestions now look to be real possibilities in some form. Once we have confirmation and the Council exec have decided which ones can happen, we will be able to tell everyone about them.
To further assist some of the most affected shops near the development site, DBID, Chamber and WDDC all contributed towards the costs of banners either end of the Hardye arcade, these are now also in place.
