Belfast City Council’s Supporting Vibrant Business Destination Programme is a partnership between the Department for Communities and Belfast City Council. The Council has put in place a pilot programme of support for Business/Traders Associations outside of the city centre boundary and Business Improvement Districts.

The aim of the initiative is to strengthen the competitiveness and create more vibrant local business destinations and the programme is to be delivered and projects completed by 31 October 2023.

The overall objectives include:

  • To increase engagement and partnership working with local traders’ associations
  • Support the development of area-based actions plans which identify and seek to address specific local concerns and deliver specific, measurable benefits over the short/medium and long term
  • Increasing footfall and sales as a direct result of marketing and promotional activity.
  • Enhancing the profile of the area with a view to stimulating economic activity
  • Supporting the growth and development of businesses engaged in associated activity
  • Supporting the sustainability of businesses and local traders’ associations.

As part of this programme we would like to seek your views on two occasions, before the programme commences and after the programme finishes. This would give us an insight into effectiveness of this initiative.

We would be grateful if you completed the survey below.
