Welcome to the Ulverston BID

What is a Business Improvement District?

A Business Improvement District (BID) is a precisely defined geographical area of a town, city, or commercial district where business ratepayers are invited to vote to invest collectively in local improvements that are additional to those currently provided by local government.

Business ratepayers are asked to vote on an additional levy that, if supported, will be collected in a ring-fenced account and then used to finance the delivery of projects, services and activities detailed in their own Business Plan.

“I think the BID is a fantastic idea. It gives local people an opportunity to make a difference in our community. We will be able to spend this extra revenue to add value to make Ulverston an even more vibrant destination. local people know where we need to invest and have a greater interest in the outcome, rather than government bodies investing in the wrong areas and wasting money! When it is our money we can spend it where it is needed we MAKE THE CHOICE.”

ANITA GARNETT, Ulverston Brewing Company

About the BID

Why Does Ulverston need a BID?

BIDs are business-led initiatives taking advantage of government legislation that gives local businesses the power to raise their own funds to spend on their priorities in order to improve their trading environment. Ulverston BID is an investment scheme where local businesses collectively agree on the priorities and how to invest their money to benefit themselves, their staff, their customers and, as a consequence, the town as a whole.
