Building on 10 years of hard work, this Autumn the Bedminster BID will be going into our third ballot and we hope you will continue to support us.

We are very excited to be proposing a new term at a time of much change within our community. The BID is transforming, new businesses are opening and the customer community, many of our traders serve, is about to grow at a rate we have not seen before.

The challenges of the last few years have highlighted the need and benefit of schemes that bring unity and build collaboration within local communities. We remain dedicated to delivering for and on behalf of the traders, and wilder stakeholders, who enrich and contribute to the BID in a variety of ways.

Our business plan, for the proposed term November 2023 - October 2028, has been informed by consultation, ongoing conversations and feedback from those who will be able to vote in the upcoming ballot.

We hope you see your priorities reflected within our plans to deliver clean, green and vibrants streets, and importance of voting YES for your BID.
