The result of a ballot to decide whether the inSwindon Business Improvement District (BID) should continue for a further five years has been announced.
Over 80% of votes cast by the Town Centre businesses backed the BID – which is a private, not-for-profit organisation – for its fourth term.
The result means inSwindon BID will resume its work for a maximum of five years from this April. A further ballot will be required for it to continue after that date.
inSwindon BID Director Anita Bellinger said, “The businesses have given us the opportunity to enhance, promote and champion the Town Centre for the next five years, in a fresh, new and creative manner, with our community at its heart.
“I would like to thank all our remarkable BID Members and partners, for not only showing their support for the work we have undertaken and are committed to carrying on, but for seeing the wider picture and investing in the bright future for the Town Centre.“
Cllr. Robert Jandy, Cabinet Member for Culture, Heritage, Leisure and Town Centre Experience, “It is no surprise to have inSwindon back for a fourth term. Successes can be built on the achievements of the past.”
