Improving the Security and environment of the Business Park is a high priority of the BID Management
Since the formation of HBP, the improvements to the area are easy to be seen, the area is no longer a dumping ground for waste, CCTV is in all areas ensuring security is paramount, ANPR Cameras log vehicle activity and more recently the introduction of SmartWater technology, providing this forensic product will help in reducing and deterring criminal activity in the area. We believe HBP is the safest Business Park in the country.
Improvements are not exclusively on security and the local area, HBP has provided over 300 training places for First Aid, training which is free for members and their staff. Other courses includes training for Fire Wardens, Manual Handling CPC Training for drivers, giving the opportunity for companies with drivers to achieve the required 35 hours of CPC training for free before it became legislation in 2014. HBP will continue to provide variety of training which of course, will be free for members.
HBP Management is continually investigating new ways to improve the Business Park.
