Your BID member update emails were so helpful all the way through the lockdown and after.

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.

A lot of the time, people come in to view the window or complete the trail leaflets. Everyone came in to see the boy in the rubber ring. That was a good one. It does bring people in, and then many come back. It helps to bring people in and returning customers - especially people from out of town who are doing the trail with their children.

Thanks for letting us be a part of the Sand Sculpture trail - the kids have all loved it!
