Business Improvement Districts
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, what steps his Department is taking to support communities that wish to create a Business Improvement District; and what (a) financial support and (b) advice is available to such communities on initial start-up costs.
- Answer
-
The Government has committed to helping communities establishing Business Improvement Districts given the positive impact they have on their local areas.
We have provided funding totalling £658,555. The latest round for new areas seeking support closed in February 2017, and applications are being processed.
Although there are many organisations offering advice to communities on establishing a Business Improvement District, we have published supporting guidance and best practice which can be found at the following link:
