CityCo – Our plans for 2012

This year, we will focus on a few key areas of activity.

Heart of Manchester BID

Over the next 6 months we will continue to consult with businesses about launching a retail Business Improvement District. We believe this could be an exciting opportunity for city centre Manchester to build on our successes and deliver more.

Manchester Garden City – Waterways

We will set out a longer-term strategy to reclaim and revitalise the city’s waterways; developing connections between the canals, River Irwell and Salford Quays.

Our initial focus will be to tackle some of the environmental issues along the Rochdale Canal and animate the watersides; working with partners, volunteers and local businesses.

Animating the City

During spring and summer, we’ll deliver a series of fun, family-friendly events in Piccadilly Gardens; building on the success of our Manchester Picnic. We’ll also continue to support civic and commercial events that develop the gardens as a welcoming space.

Service Delivery

Our final major focus is to develop new ways of providing members with an opportunity to access economies of scale; as we coordinate services and products to improve the public realm.

We’ll also continue to deliver our day-to-day operations, security, communications and networking services for members.
