FORMATION OF KIPPA
The BID has a 5 year term from
1st April 2009 to 31st March 2014
With our members help we hope to renew for a further 5 years
In 2004 The Society of London Manufacturers www.soloman.co.uk (SOLOMAN) managed to get together a number
of like minded business people and as a result KIPPA was formed to improve the environment and standing of
the industrial estate. For just over 4 years KIPPA was funded by voluntary contributions from some of the businesses and
a great deal was achieved in that time.
During 2009 a grant was obtained from the London Development Agency
(LDA) via SOLOMAN which enabled us, with their help, to create a Business Improvement District (BID).
The BID was successful and thanks to all the businesses, Sutton Council and Soloman, KIPPA BID LTD commenced on 1st
April 2009.

PROJECTS
KIMPTON ROAD WIDTH RESTRICTION - The Borough has agreed that
this will remain to stop heavy industrial traffic but will be permanently open for cars and light vans.
S3
BUS- This may be re-routed through Kimpton Road and if that happens the opportunity will be taken to redesign
the restriction.
CHUBB SECURITY - Now patrol every night at varying intervals.
CCTV- With the further assistance of SOLOMAN we have
won a grant of £15,000 to help us install additional CCTV cameras and ANPR (Auto Number Plate Recognition) cameras
and are in the process of working with the Police and Sutton Council to agree on the best use of these funds. We hope Tesco
will be included as a partner in this program.
Progress has been made and they should be operational mid March 2010 but as yet Tescos are not
included.
KIMPTON PARK WAY - The exit onto
the A217 will be increased to two lanes during the autumn of 2009 subject to Transport for London (TFL),
a project we have been working on for over two years. UPDATE - The two lanes out of Kimpton Park Way was
completed in December 2009.
MINDEN ROAD-
This will be opened at the far end to allow traffic to exit via Kimpton Park Way, which we have been working on
for over two years. UPDATE - Minden Road was opened November 2009
SIGNS- The major road sign
at Abbots Road to stop HGVs etc turning into Gander Green Lane has finally been agreed by TFL having been
rejected twice by them. We have been working on this for over two years. UPDATE - The sign was changed on 1st October 2009
and will direct HGVs to Kimpton Park Way.
MAPS - It took nearly three years to get www.multimap.co.uk and www.streetmap.co.uk to up date..
COMPANY LIST- We could, with permission,
produce a list of companies on Kimpton with name, address, brief description, web site and contact
details. This might generate more business, especially inter-trading, which we could all do with.
OTHER
PROJECTS - There are a number on which we are working but feel free to email suggestions.
MAP-
We have agreement from the Borough that they will pay for a map to our design, located just before Wealdstone
Road on Kimpton Park Way to assist finding premises. This can be seen on page two of this site, "The Map".
This will be a great help to all concerned, you could pass this site on to customers and suppliers
to help them find their way onto Kimpton, as it is still a problem.
It may be some time before "The Map" is installed in Kimpton Park Way due to planning
approval requirements.
Very pleased to say that "The Map" was located next to Big Yellow on the 19th
November 2010.
