Birmingham is setting the trend on the high street. City Centre Partnership managers were invited to present a case study at a government-led seminar in Stockport last week, looking at ways to restore town and city confidence during the recession. Birmingham's City Centre director, Jenny Inglis, said: ‘Our unique approach to city centre management, and the development of Business Improvement Districts, is already seen as best practice. ‘There is now recognition that this can also provide an effective framework to tackle issues arising from the downturn.'
