Help to shape the business plan ahead of our renewal ballot in October 2026.

Positively Putney BID is a not for profit organisation funded by and working for 400 levy paying businesses in the town centre. During our second term using the annual levy collected from businesses we have invested over £1.5 million into projects which promote Putney, enhance the town centre and represent local businesses.

The UK legislation requires Business Improvement Districts to seek a business mandate though a ballot every five years. We will be going to ballot in October 2026. This is your chance to shape the future of your BID for the next five years. We would like to know what you think we have done well; what we could have done better and what new initiatives you would like to see introduced.
