Hotels and short-term letters could be facing more challenges in London as Westminster City Council plans to implement an “overnight levy” for tourists as it
We are pleased to confirm that businesses in West Fitzrovia have resoundingly supported the formation of the West Fitzrovia Business Improvement District, building on the successes already achieved by The Fitzrovia Partnership over the past 12 years. Our ambition is to provide a seamless set of services across Fitzrovia and the borough boundary to benefit businesses and wider residential community.
In the recent ballot of businesses in West Fitzrovia, we saw overwhelming support for The Partnership with 91% of voters voting in favour of the new BID mandate and 95% by rateable value. We are delighted with the results which benchmark well within the industry and are a vote of confidence for The Fitzrovia Partnership and the new BID.
A successful, vibrant and thriving area for business and a destination of choice for employees and the wider community
Fitzrovia is the creative cornerstone of the West End. It is home to international head offices of digital, creative and the built-environment industries and is where exciting independent businesses sit alongside flagship stores. Fitzrovia is a welcoming and vibrant place to work, live and visit.
The area sits under two boroughs (Camden) and (Westminster). Over the past decade, Fitzrovia (Camden) has enjoyed the additional services provided by The Fitzrovia Partnership, a Business Improvement District (BID).
These include services such as waste and street cleaning services; additional security through street wardens; co-ordinating sustainability targets and programmes; reducing business costs; acting as a collective voice to protect and shape the area whilst lobbying on behalf of businesses; promoting the area as a destination of choice for employees, residents and visitors.
The Business Plan have been approved Westminster City Council to extend these enhanced services across Fitzrovia.
