"Keeping everyone safe and healthy, minimising the spread while supporting Leeds businesses is key.
"Leeds Business Improvement District is here through these times of uncertainty to support businesses in Leeds city centre. Our office currently remains open and our Street Rangers are out working daily on the city centre streets to support businesses.
"Business Improvement Districts are nimble, reactive and not for profit organisations established by and for the business community they serve. We will be here to pass on communications and advice to help and support you as much as we can during this time, as well as looking ahead at contingencies for business impact in the coming months ahead.
