Welcome
The Beeston BID (Business Improvement District) Company Ltd is a not for profit organisation that works with the business community of Beeston to make it a better place to live, work and shop.
Following a successful YES vote back in October 2010, the company officially launched on January 1st 2011 and will operate until 31st December 2015.
All businesses within the defined town centre area pay a small levy of either 2% or 2.5% of their rateable value to the BID Company. This money is then spent on projects such as marketing and promoting and safety and security. This contribution from the business community will mean that £1million is invested into Beeston over the next 5 years.
The BID's vision is to:
Create a well promoted, vibrant and well managed town centre
for customers, employers, businesses and investors.
This website aims to provide up to date information on all aspects of the BID, right from its origins, what roads are included, who is on the board and how your businesses can benefit from the range of projects and initiatives.
The BID is here to help you. Everything that we do is funded and directed by the local business community.
