TRADERS and businesses in Winchester are being urged to play their part in making it a better place to live, work and shop.
The city’s Business Improvement District is seeking volunteers for its new committees and sub-groups.
Crime reduction sub-group members will liaise with Hampshire police and seek to make the city safer through such schemes as Pubwatch and Shopwatch.
Those on the street scene sub-group will focus on cleanliness, floral displays, and other ways to make the city more attractive.
The marketing and events group will discuss ways in which to draw more shoppers into Winchester.
Their work will be co-ordinated by another committee, which is also looking for new members and which is to be chaired by Graham Compton-Price, from Jones the Bootmaker, in The Square.
He will be joined by BID officers and the three sub-group leaders.
