Business Improvement Districts Where businesses choose to work together and make individual contributions to create a significant pot of money, which is 100% ring fenced, to be locally managed and locally spent, to generate additional improvements in the trading environment of local businesses.

Bournemouth’s BIDs

Coastal Districts BID It’s different – area covered It’s innovative – tourism lead It’s about getting more people to stay longer

BID objectives To increase the number of people visiting Bournemouth & persuade them to stay longer To encourage visitors and local people to visit more of our unique coastal strip To provide visitors and local people with reasons to spend more in local shops To improve everyone’s experience and encourage repeat visits To help make businesses more profitable

16
What’s the process? Developing the Business Plan Confirming the priorities/identifying the solutions (Range of workshops) Identifying the issues (Initial business consultation survey) The ballot Feasibility study
17
Who gets to vote? Tourism and retail related businesses Area: Westbourne to Hengistbury Head Rateable value in excess of £9,500 770 businesses, with total RV of £33million
18
The ballot Requires more than 50% support from number of businesses that vote AND These must represent more than 50% of the rateable value of the voting businesses
19
How much will it cost? Depends on your suggestions Currently based on 1.5% of rateable value 1.5% levy produces £495,000 pa for 3 to 5 years from the 770 eligible businesses. This would generate £2.5m over 5 years. Levy is mandatory on all businesses, if the BID is voted through.
20
Delivering the Business Plan Set up a ‘Company Limited by Guarantee’ Board members elected by local businesses Funded by levy on all eligible businesses No major changes without a ballot BID has fixed life: can vote to renew Baseline agreements with the Council Voluntary contributions welcome
