 Winchester City Council and Winchester Business Improvement District (BID) led local partners through the Purple Flag process in 2010. It was a great opportunity to examine the evening period in Winchester holistically, rather than looking solely at one aspect or another. Colleagues from a number of disciplines, within and outside the Council, were brought together and contributed to an overview of the city centre. Those partners are now working together to drive up standards and create new opportunities for all age groups in the city centre. Read more |
