Business Improvement Districts (BIDs) (as opposed to Late Night Levies)

As you will know, BIDs are increasingly being adopted in town and city centres - and also in preference at times to the possible implementation of a Late Night Levy.

For those interested, a Parliamentary Briefing Paper has recently been published which sets out the working of BIDs in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. It provides details of the legal framework for BIDs, with recent statistics and developments.

Full report can be found here: 'Briefing Paper Number 04591, 12 August 2016 Business Improvement Districts'.
