BRADFORD’S evening and night-time economy has taken a significant step forward with the appointment of its first co-ordinator. Elizabeth Murphy has been appointed by the city’s Business Improvement District (BID) to work with hospitality and leisure businesses to help build a “rich, vibrant and successful” offer in the city centre. Ms Murphy, who is experienced in place management, working with both BIDs and local authorities, started the new role today.
Bradford BID chairman Ian Ward said: “The development of Bradford city centre is at a pivotal time. “We are on the cusp of some major developments, such as the opening of the NEC Bradford Live Arena in late 2022, that have the potential to significantly increase footfall. In 2019 the accounting firm PWC and think tank Demos indicated that Bradford is the most improved place in the UK to live and work, with jobs and work-life balance highlighted in a report.

The Task Force, an alliance of place-making experts who are working to redefine the high street, requested that East Lindsey District Council nominate a specific local high street to receive their professional focus in order to create the best vision and strategy for the area.
Having worked closely with stakeholders in the district’s market towns through their Vital and Viable programme, the district council has put forward Horncastle to receive the task force support.
This will help to boost the town’s Vital and Viable action plan with long-term, legacy projects and provide professional guidance to local groups who are already working to help develop the town further.
