Welcome to Bath

Safe and Secure Night-Time Economy Meeting
2026-01-07 10:00 - 11:00 (Europe/London) | The West Gate, 38 Westgate Street, Bath, BANES, BA1 1EL, United Kingdom
As we enter a new year and begin the new five-year term of the Bath BID, this feels like a timely opportunity to review the structure and purpose of the Night-Time Economy meetings. The aim is to ensure that businesses and partner organisations are getting the maximum value from attending and that the meetings remain practical, relevant, and worthwhile.

To support this, the January meeting will focus on shaping a standard agenda for future meetings. The suggested areas for discussion are outlined below, and your input will be invaluable:

Regularity of the meetings

Timing and length of meetings

Regular areas of discussion, including:

~ Updates from Bath BID (Night Marshals, Bath Safe Bus, and BID management)

~ Updates from businesses and venues, including any concerns or emerging trends within the night-time economy

~ Updates from partner organisations (Police, Licensing, CCTV, Universities)

~ Training and safety initiatives, such as Ask for Angela

~ Relaunch of the Safe and Secure Night-Time Exclusion Scheme

~ Any Other Business (AOB)

The above topics form a proposed framework for the Safe and Secure NTE meetings going forward. However, if you feel there are additional areas that should be included, you are encouraged to attend and contribute to shaping the future direction of these meetings.

Please submit your RSVP below if you intent to be there.
