RENEWAL FOR OUR SECOND TERM 2022-27

Have your say in delivering a better Bristol for all

 

Bristol City Centre BID’s first five-year term is nearly over and as we prepare for renewal, we are asking our businesses to have your say on what you’d like to see from the BID in the next five years.

Please watch the video below and read on to find out more about our plans for 2022-27 and to give your feedback.

Consultation

Since Bristol City Centre Business Improvement District (BID) was voted in by the businesses of Bristol in 2017, our focus has been to make the city a more safe, welcoming, and better place to live, work, study and spend leisure time. We have invested over £5 million of your levy to deliver innovative projects that have made a significant difference to the city we all operate in.

Our first five-year term is nearly over and as we prepare for renewal, we will be asking businesses like yours to reaffirm your commitment to the BID, and to improving the city centre, through a vote to deliver a second five-year term.

This is the beginning of our consultation process, and we are encouraging businesses to review the prospectus and let us know your priorities for the next five years.
