It was great to meet Jonathan Bellamy, from Stoke-on-Trent City Centre BID, this week to talk about how we can ensure a thriving city centre.
The BID (Business Improvement District) is a great idea that I know local shopkeepers in Burslem are looking to replicate.
Clear that better connectivity with public transport, investment in infrastructure and more high skilled and high wage jobs will see huge economic benefits for everyone across Stoke-on-Trent, Kidsgrove and Talke.
