Leading the BID industry
Following recent local lockdowns and areas of interventions in the UK, Bb wants to ensure that BIDs are as prepared as possible for communicating and working with businesses in the event of a second lockdown in your area.
Measures will vary from place to place, and this document provides guidance only:
Be aware of the health data
And even more granular local data by Middle Super Output Area (MSOA). MSOAs are small areas with around 7,200 average population. The data are updated every Thursday and might be particularly useful for smaller BIDs. View the data here https://www.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=47574f7a6e454dc6a42c5f6912ed7076.
Begin preparation in case a local lockdown is imposed in your area
How should the BID team react to a local lockdown?
Monitoring a local lockdown / during a lockdown
Once the lockdown has been lifted
A local lockdown will be lifted by the government once it has been agreed to that it is safe to do so.
Useful guidance
British BIDs recently hosted a localised lockdown webinar which included advice on how to prepare for a lockdown in your area. This advice covered communications, key relationships, being aware of public health data, and areas of focus in BID delivery.
