VALUE FOR SUTTON
It is important that you have a voice. A strong YES vote in our renewal ballot means that we can provide increased value for money for businesses and one united voice to the business community.
OUR four key commitments: • Act as a strong collective business voice that has influence on the decisions made about the town centre. • Extend the free recycling scheme to over 150 businesses in order to drive down costs further and to continue to provide a heavily subsidised food waste collection. • Make available High Street grants to businesses in order to continually improve the High Street environment. • Work with Sutton Council to provide an effective and enhanced town centre management service.
A strong yes vote also means we can continue to: • Manage the site management agreement with the Institute of Fundraising to restrict unsolicited charity workers (chuggers) in the High Street. • Host networking events for levy payers to meet and make new contacts and share best practice. • Organise historic walking tours to promote Sutton and its heritage to new residents, visitors and employees.
CONSULTATION results Up to
85 businesses have used and benefitted from our mixed recycling service. Town centre businesses have saved over
1,500 trees through our mixed recycling service.
45 tonnes of cardboard and mixed waste are collected each year.
65% of businesses support a collective voice for their views and concerns.
61% support our restriction on ‘Chuggers’.
• Continue to lobby for an extension to the Tram network to include Sutton.
To enable these activities to continue, businesses must VOTE YES in the Successful Sutton BID renewal ballot.
