BID Update
1/2/10
We are delighted to announce that East Renfrewshire Council have agreed to contribute £20,000 to the first year of the Clarkston BID - should the ballot prove successful. On top of their commitment to fund the BID manager and the associated administration costs this will help us develop an even stronger BID.

Also, in advance of the ballot for the Clarkston BID, we are proposing to run an event in June to demonstrate how the BID can make a difference to the Clarkston businesses. We have sent an outline of the event to all the businesses in the Clarkston BID area and both the letter to the businesses and the outline of the event are attached.
