Frimley Business Association

To receive a presentation from Michael Usher on the work of the Frimley Business Association.

 

Minutes:

Michael Usher gave a presentation in respect of the Frimley Business Association which had been set up two years ago with the key aim of improving the environment in and around Frimley High Street.

 

Funding had been secured from the Community Improvement Fund and this would be used to tidy up Frimley High Street and buy plants for the large planters down the middle of the road.

 

A Christmas Tree Light Switch On in 2015 had proved particularly successful.  This event would be repeated on Saturday 3rd December when it was hoped that it would help raise awareness of the businesses operating in Frimley High Street and encourage more people to visit and use them.  It was suggested that the Project 5 event being run in partnership with the Surrey Wildlife trust might be an ideal way to source Christmas Trees for the high street and it was agreed that the details would be forwarded to the Association.

 

It was acknowledged that the large white building on the High Street was in need of some cosmetic work to improve its appearance however it was a privately owned building and there was little that could be done to impel the owners to address the situation.

 

The Committee thanked Michael Usher for his presentation.
