Love Loughborough BID launches new online footfall statistics during the coronavirus pandemic.

With the opening of non-essential shopping, Love Loughborough and Charnwood Borough Council have provided town centre businesses with advice leaflets, social distancing floor stickers, assistance with managing queues and the ability to buy PPE such as visors and hand sanitiser.

The online technology that counts the amount of people in parts of Loughborough town centre has been led by Love Loughborough BID.

Based on a traffic light system, and with agreed ‘Maximum Threshold’ numbers, the dashboard refreshes every five minutes to display how busy certain areas are within the town centre.

The dashboard also allows residents to select specific days to understand the average amount of customers on that day, helping shoppers to plan their visit.

Lisa Brown, BID Manager said: “this is a fantastic tool for visitors and Loughborough BID. It allows us to regularly monitor areas within the town centre and focus our assistance where needed, and we hope this will also provide reassurance to our visitors being able to see how busy certain locations are without the need to be there.”
