Canterbury’s Shop Front Guidelines Explained

Online via Zoom

The appearance of shopping areas and individual shopfronts is often an indication of the vitality and quality of a place. Well designed and historically interesting shopfronts can make a street a more attractive place to visit.   Join Lizzy Johnson, Heritage and Design Manager for Canterbury City Council to discuss how the sustained and successful stewardship of buildings, streets and spaces is intertwined with the health of the retail economy.

Zero Tolerance Training

The Fruitworks Conference Room 1-2 Jewry Lane, Canterbury

Zero Tolerance is a completely FREE accreditation scheme designed for licensed venues in Canterbury City Centre, to show they are trained to recognise and tackle sexual harassment and discrimination aimed at both customers and staff.   Anyone frequenting a Zero Tolerance accredited venue can be reassured that staff are fully equipped with the guidelines and framework to keep them safe during their visit. The venues can also use this accreditation in their marketing, promotions and display materials.   The sessions are also designed in a useful ‘train a trainer’ way. This means managers and owners of evening and night-time economy venues (or designated members of staff) can attend the training and then deliver it themselves to existing and new members of staff. If you are interested to book into a training session please contact us: enquiries@canterburybid.co.uk
