The Fitzrovia Partnership business group is inviting residents to express a view on what improvements they would like to see for the streets of the neighbourhood.
Residents, along with business owners, workers and visitors, are invited to a “drop-in session” at The Building Society in Whitfield Street on Wednesday 24 April, to express their views directly to The Fitzrovia Partnership.
The Partnership is also asking people to complete an online survey, where you can give your views on the state of Fitzrovia’s streets and what you would like to see improved.
Options on the survey include removing clutter from the streets, wider footways, timing deliveries and “last-mile” freight, pubic drinking fountains, improved cycling facilities, and better street cleaning and maintenance.
“We want to hear from residents, business owners, workers and visitors on how you would like to enjoy Fitzrovia,” they say.
The Fitzrovia Partnership runs two business improvement districts (BIDs) under a public-private partnership with Camden and Westminster councils.
The Partnership provides business services to its members including street wardens run by My Local Bobby.
The BIDs are funded by a levy on the commercial rates from more than 420 of the largest businesses in Fitzrovia.
Aside from raising money through a levy on the business rates, BIDs can also apply for a variety of public funds, as well as influence the policy making and decisions of local councils.
The Fitzrovia Partnership, sustainability and public realm infrastructure drop-in session, between 12pm and 7pm, Wednesday 24 April 2024, at The Building Society, 55 Whitfield Street, London W1T 4AH. Sustainability and public realm infrastructure survey.
