The project will see footpaths widened and re-paved to create a high-quality and attractive street scene that will showcase the area\u2019s distinct character and heritage.<\/p>\n<p>As part of the Ward\u2019s End Quarter High Street Boost scheme, a variety of businesses are offering their customers a \u00a35 gift voucher to spend in Loughborough Town Centre, for every \u00a310 spent in stores signed up to the scheme. The maximum amount of vouchers one customer can receive from a single purchase is \u00a3100 in vouchers (please see terms and conditions). There are \u00a310,000 worth of gift vouchers to redeem from the participating businesses, so when they are gone, they are gone.<\/p>\n<p>BID Manager, Lisa Brown says \u201cWe have been working with businesses who have been affected by the construction works as part of the Bedford Square Gateway Project and have collectively formed the Ward\u2019s End Quarter High Street Boost scheme.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are hoping the scheme will encourage higher footfall and more spend within the area with the incentive to receive gift vouchers in return for spend.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cllr Jenny Bokor, lead member for Loughborough, said: \u201cWe are delighted to support this scheme and would encourage people to visit Ward\u2019s End, Devonshire Square and Bedford Square.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe High Street Boost scheme is a fantastic offer and we look forward to seeing people supporting their local shops, cafes, pubs and other businesses.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Council is also supporting the area by continuing to offer free parking for 1 hour at Bee Hive Lane car park.<\/p>\n<p>Vouchers are only awarded in the Wards End Quarter but can be redeemed in over 55 businesses throughout the town. These businesses can be found on the Love Loughborough Gift Voucher Scheme and be identified from the gift voucher window sticker. From restaurants to shoes, artisan chocolate to luxury gifts, there is a vast variety of choice for all. The scheme aims to boost high street footfall and encourage customers to support our local businesses by shopping and spending locally.<\/p>\n<p>To find out where you can spend the vouchers, please visit <a href=\"https:\/\/loveloughborough.co.uk\/love-loughborough\/gift-vouchers\/\">loveloughborough.co.uk\/love-loughborough\/gift-vouchers<\/a> or download the LoyalFree App at <a href=\"http:\/\/loveloughborough.co.uk\/love-loughborough\/loyalty-app.\">loveloughborough.co.uk\/love-loughborough\/loyalty-app.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>To find out which businesses are awarding the vouchers, please visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wards-end-quarter.com\/high-street-boost\">www.wards-end-quarter.com\/high-street-boost<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Please see terms and conditions for the scheme due to some businesses having separate spend caps <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wards-end-quarter.com\/high-street-boost\">www.wards-end-quarter.com\/high-street-boost<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1835\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/loveloughborough.co.uk\/love-bid\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Social-Gift-Vouchers.jpeg?resize=300%2C300&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/loveloughborough.co.uk\/love-bid\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Social-Gift-Vouchers.jpeg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/loveloughborough.co.uk\/love-bid\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Social-Gift-Vouchers.jpeg?resize=1024%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/loveloughborough.co.uk\/love-bid\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Social-Gift-Vouchers.jpeg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/loveloughborough.co.uk\/love-bid\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Social-Gift-Vouchers.jpeg?resize=768%2C768&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/loveloughborough.co.uk\/love-bid\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Social-Gift-Vouchers.jpeg?resize=100%2C100&amp;ssl=1 100w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/loveloughborough.co.uk\/love-bid\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Social-Gift-Vouchers.jpeg?resize=140%2C140&amp;ssl=1 140w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/loveloughborough.co.uk\/love-bid\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Social-Gift-Vouchers.jpeg?resize=500%2C500&amp;ssl=1 500w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/loveloughborough.co.uk\/love-bid\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Social-Gift-Vouchers.jpeg?resize=350%2C350&amp;ssl=1 350w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/loveloughborough.co.uk\/love-bid\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Social-Gift-Vouchers.jpeg?resize=1000%2C1000&amp;ssl=1 1000w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/loveloughborough.co.uk\/love-bid\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Social-Gift-Vouchers.jpeg?resize=800%2C800&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/loveloughborough.co.uk\/love-bid\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Social-Gift-Vouchers.jpeg?w=1080&amp;ssl=1 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Love Loughborough BID, working alongside Charnwood Borough Council, is launching a brand-new scheme, Ward\u2019s End Quarter High Street Boost, to encourage shoppers to visit the businesses within this area.
