Staines BID Renewal - Verbal Update

To receive a verbal update on the Staines Business Improvement District renewal.

Minutes:

The current business improvement district (BID) was due to end in March 2022.  94% of last year’s levy had been collected, which compared favourably to may other BIDs.  There were discussions with local businesses about expanding the BID as part of a new application to the Secretary of State.  Detailed engagement with businesses was needed for the application to be successful as it required a certain level of support.

 

The report was noted.
