The ‘public face’ of the inSwindon BID, our team of six will work in pairs to keep our streets safer, cleaner and greener. Highly visible in smart “inSwindon” uniforms the team will be carefully recruited and trained to deal with the public and to support the Police and private security staff.

They will also be very involved in the evenings, liasing with licensed premises, and helping to get people home promptly and safely at the end of the night.

A small extra investment will let us ‘piggyback’ the system to create a public wi-fi zone across the whole BID Area.

Charging people a relatively modest amount for usage will soon pay back the additional set-up costs and from there on give us another source of revenue to invest back in the BID.

It will be another first for the UK in Swindon, great PR for the town and really help change peoples’ perception.

It’ll cost you nothing. And think what you’ll save.

By providing white or brown bags and the option to have them branded, our aim is to make the BID area completely free of ‘disposable’ plastic bags within the next five years. Not by trying to punish people for using them, but by giving you an easier and cheaper alternative.
