Argent
is a founding member and principal driver behind the Piccadilly Partnership,
a strategic alliance of key landowners, service providers and the City
Council.
The Partnership has been formed to raise awareness of,
and build upon, the huge public and private investment which has transformed
Piccadilly in recent years.
The Partnership seeks to reposition the Piccadilly area
in the economic and social life of the City by underpinning and promoting
its economic vibrancy, working to:
- Raise awareness of the many
changes taking place within the Piccadilly area.
- Market the commercial advantages
of the Piccadilly location and promote it as a 'brand'.
- Engage transport service providers
and authorities in a constructive dialogue about transport services
within the area.
- Further improve the quality,
management and maintenance of the public realm.
- Secure new arrangements to
deliver local service improvements, with the active participation of
public and private sector partners.
- Stimulate and steer economic
investment on key sites, in line with the regeneration strategy for
the area.
- Potentially, take up new opportunities
afforded by the Business Improvement District (BID) legislation and
impending changes to the Business Rates regime.
