Now the hope is that businesses will become involved and committed to a scheme which could see at least £150,000-a-year become available for improvement projects.
It is a chance for Royston to set a bold example.
The whole concept of setting up a Business Improvement District is certainly a plausible vision, and as long as it is led with a sense of purpose there is no reason for it not to succeed.

It is, after all, the opportunity to shape a vision for the future, where all can begin to realise their ambitions and aspirations.
