Truro BID

Information on Truro BID's activities & businesses matters for those working in Truro City Centre. We first became operational in October 2007.

Truro Business Improvement District (BID) is a business led initiative which gives businesses the power to raise funds locally to be spent locally on improving a defined commercial area. Truro BID represents circa 380 Truro businesses and from 2007 to 2017 invested £3.4million into the City centre. We’re now in our fourth 5 year term, which runs until October 2027. We are independent from local authorities and other statutory agencies and deliver projects over and above the baseline service provided by them. Some of our work includes:

∙ Delivering and funding Truro’s annual City Centre Christmas Lights scheme (along with past donations from Lionel and Carol Knight).

∙ Enhancing the festive offer with street entertainment, large scale projections on buildings, traffic-free main shopping streets, markets, and supporting Coppice Theatre shows and Father Christmas grottos.

∙ Delivering the Truro Trend high-profile Catwalk at the Cathedral.

∙ Initiating and supporting one day markets; e.g. the Duchy Fair’s Cornwall Shop Small Markets and Truro Antiques and Collectables Markets.

∙ Joint-funding with Truro City Council the annual floral hanging baskets each spring.

∙ Working with Visit Truro to promote the city, including contributing financially to printed marketing activity (Truro Guides) and Visit Truro’s website.

∙ Representing the interests of businesses on plans for the Pydar Regeneration and Truro Town Fund investment plan.

Cornwall Council and Creative Kernow are writing a plan for how Cornwall will develop over the next 20 years – which sets out what can be built and where.

To make that plan the best it can be, they need to know from residents and the changes they want to see.

With help, we can shape the rules for planning in Cornwall to protect what’s most important to you and influence how our places change.

There is a Local Plan Drop In next Wednesday 17 September, from 12 noon until 3pm at Truro Methodist Church.

The South West Cyber Resilience Centre (SW CRC) is a not-for-profit organisation, funded by the Home Office and regional policing.

SW CRC exists to help South-West based small to medium sized businesses, organisations, charities, voluntary groups, and public sector bodies, with their Cyber Security.

Cyber Security can feel complicated, expensive, and unmanageable. It can be hard to know where to start, or how to improve resilience. So, regional CRC’s have been set up by Government to help.

They are not for profit so membership of SWCRC is free. They provide all members with regular updates on cyber threats and risks and invites to webinars.

If you are a small to medium sized business or organisation, find out more including how to become a SWCRC member for free at: www.swcrc.police.uk

Truro and Penwith College students will be graduating this year on Saturday 18 October at Truro Cathedral.

We’ve been approached by the college to see if there is an opportunity to encourage the 800 people expected to attend the Graduation to go to the resident eateries either before the graduation or after the event finishes at 4.30pm. Graduates and their families will be arriving for the ceremony between 11am and 12.30pm depending on the course.

This could be in the form of a food and drink trail which would offer graduates a discount at participating cafes, bars, and restaurants where they can also celebrate their achievements. The ceremony is due to finish at 3.15pm when students will be served a glass of prosecco post-ceremony.

The BIG Truro Market is back this Saturday 13 September on Lemon Quay. The market will feature around 60 small, local & indie makers, designers, producers, creators and curators of contemporary craft, art & design, sustainable home, fashion & lifestyle wares, vintage finds and artisan food & drink.

The BIG Truro Market is hosted by Truro Farmers Market and Cornwall Shop Small.

We'll be continuing to support Cornwall Shop Small by making a small contribution to their operating costs, as markets generate additional customer footfall into the city that will potentially benefit many other resident businesses, including hospitality.

The BIG Truro Market is also supported by Truro City Council and Visit Truro.

As previously communicated, Cormac is implementing traffic management in Truro city centre from Monday 8 September until Friday 7 November, to facilitate the next phase of vital repairs to the granite setts (cobbles) on Boscawen Street.

The work, which started yesterday involves signs, lighting, and guarding arrangements to support operations on Boscawen Street and the footway at the front and back of Hall for Cornwall on Boscawen Street and Back Quay.

To complete the repairs to the existing granite setts on Boscawen Street, road closures will be in place until Friday 7 November. We've spoken to Cormac on site who have confirmed that Boscawen Street will remain open at this stage to restricted vehicles* from the Lemon Street junction towards the war memorial.

The work involves the next phase of repairs to the cobble stone paving where the individual granite setts are lifted and cleaned by hand before relayed. Once finished, the surface will be safer, more robust and easier to maintain.

Repairs to sections of the footways outside of the Hall for Cornwall have also started on Boscawen St.

Cormac recognise that these projects will affect local traffic and appreciate understanding and cooperation during this period. For more information, see the details from Cormac that we've added to our website: trurobid.co.uk

Truro City Council are inviting residents, visitors, and users of Lemon Quay in Truro to take part in the Lemon Quay Truro User Survey 2025, hosted by The South West Research Company on behalf of Redhawk Events Management and Consultancy.
