Working in Partnerships
Westminster City Council
One of our key strategies is to continue to build on and forge closer working relationships with Westminster City Council. Westminster is the main determining authority in respect of the streets and property in our area. As an authority, it has been very supportive of Business Improvement Districts (BID’s) and New West End Company.
Two important legal agreements exist between New West End Company and Westminster City Council. An Operating Agreement which provides the basis for collecting the investment made by our retail constituents (by way of a BID levy) and a Baseline Agreement which sets out the service specification for cleansing, highways enforcement and CCTV, which the Council will continue to deliver throughout the BID period. It is this latter document which helps the organisation to monitor the statutory services provided and ensure New West End Company's own work is wholly additional.

Voluntary Members
In addition to our BID retailers and property owners we operate an additional voluntary membership scheme. This is aimed at offices, hotels, restaurants and bars and any other businesses in the area who wish to be involved in our work. Benefits include access to our marketing activities, Crime Intelligence Partnership and networking opportunities.
