    Council funding to move business improvement scheme forward

    City councillors are moving forward with their proposal to get companies in Exeter's central area on board to create a Business Improvement District.


    It would involve traders putting the equivalent of around one per cent of their business rates into a kitty, and that fund is then used to pay for improvements to the city centre which will be good for their business.
