Businesses are involved in the decision-making process when looking at: the area to be included in the BID; what improvements to make; and the rate of the levy.


If businesses vote for the BID the city centre would benefit from a programme of enhancements to make the town greener, cleaner, safer, better maintained and better promoted. The package of improvements was recently agreed by Winchester City Council’s Cabinet. You can read about this in committee report CAB1450

If you would like to find out more about BIDs, follow the links above or email Economic Development Officer Kate Crawford on ecdev@winchester.gov.uk .

Voting for the Winchester BID starts on June 28 and closes on July so if you receive a ballot paper, be sure to have your say and send in your postal vote.
