We are meeting with businesses every day to discuss the proposed High Wycombe BID face-to-face. These people are giving us positive feedback on our business plan ideas and are making suggestions to benefit them as individuals but also to ensure that we put together a realistic and strong business plan.
We have made a short film of vox-pops of a representative sample of businesses in the town centre. This will be made public at the beginning of May on our You Tube channel with a link from here. It will enable you, first hand, to see what people are saying. It will also enable us to show national companies, who may not know high Wycombe, what local people think.

- Dave Burr from The Antelope
- Juliette Hamilton from Kitsch me Kwik
