The activities create something special for the town. They give families something to do together and we've seen lots of new faces coming to do together and we've seen lots of new faces coming in to the shop as a result. The BID should be proud of itself.

We really welcome and value the support Blackburn BID provides to the library as a town centre value. The BID led installations, campaigns, promotions are always fun, exciting and importantly bring in footfall. I know the promotional activity is just one element of your overall work and we're grateful for everything else the BID contributes to.

The events - like the Festival of Making and Pride - bring in a lot of new customers. The sand trail did well for us too. A lot of people stopped to take photos and then come in for a coffee. We have had quite a few people come back after too.

All the engagement as a result of the trails has been absolutely amazing. We have doubled our footfall over the week. We can see all the smiles on the children's faces and we're definitely going to get involved in anything organised by Blackburn BID in the future.

Blackburn BID's security patrols have been fantastic to say the least and is really supporting the teams to feel safe when working on the retail park.
