Introduction
The Ashby BID has been in existence since 2022. Working on behalf of the 390+ eligible businesses, the BID's primary purpose is to support its members to create a successful town centre as well as ensuring that it is a safe and welcoming place for people to work, visit & reside. We work to ensure Ashby is a truly attractive and exciting destination for all our visitors.
Operated by the not-for-profit BID Company with a Board of Directors (drawn from local business representatives who work on a voluntary basis) Ashby BID has been driven by the private sector, with the belief that local businesses, working together, will have a more influential voice in shaping the future of our town.
Over £190,000 pa is currently collected from the levy, and this funds all our work. Additionally, we have been one of the most successful BIDs of our size in leveraging further money, over £50,000 pa in other income.
BIDs are required to vote every 5 years to renew their mandate and Ashby BID will come to an end next year unless the majority of businesses vote YES to continue it for another 5 years. If it comes to an end all BID activity will stop at that time. We want to continue our work and build on the solid foundations that have been laid over the past years.
