Quarterly National Data - Proximity Futures

BIDs are both producers and users of data. They generally produce footfall data for their town and city centres, they provide data about their levy payers and they measure and monitor traffic flows and pedestrian flows through the towns and cities. 

This new quarterly report produced by Proximity Futures along with British BIDs allows that data to be widened to now include regional datasets about footfall, Wi-Fi and retail sales. We hope in the future to go forward with car parking sensors and air quality reports.

We see this report mirroring the BID Barometer that we now publish every quarter and hope it will be of value to the BID industry.
