Businesses can call on the Rangers as an essential first line of support. Their extensive training comes into play when called upon to deal with anti-social behaviour, shoplifters or other disorderly behaviour that impacts on people enjoying our beautiful city.

Anti-Social Loitering Scheme
The BID rangers help deter anti-social activity on the doorstep of BID businesses through our anti-loitering scheme.
Businesses who sign up to the scheme give the Rangers permission to ask those who engage in anti-social behaviour activity on their property to leave. It also allows the Rangers to provide information and support advice to those who need it.
A sticker on your shopfront will indicate that the business participates in this scheme and has given consent for action to be taken.
