    The proposals by the West End BID Steering Group aim to revive prosperity after a decline blamed on tram works and the financial crash.

    Other issues cited include roadworks, parking restrictions, lack of investment and a “perceived lack of variety” on the high street.

    If the BID finds favour, businesses would pay a compulsory levy going towards improved signage, marketing and cleaner streets.

    "In order to attract people back we need to improve signage, add a real appeal to the area with plant containers, benches, and better and cheaper parking"

    Yeah, some signs and more cars to clutter up the place - that'll do it...
