About
Wandsworth Town Business Improvement District (BID)
Business Improvement Districts (BIDs) are not-for-profit partnerships voted in by local businesses to improve the local area and drive footfall. A BID is brought in through a democratic ballot process and the services provided are additional to those delivered by the statutory authorities. There are currently over 300 BIDs in the UK supporting and investing in town centres. We work to provide greater strategic context for businesses to galvanise the business community, statutory authorities and wider stakeholders behind a common vision for the district and generate an enhanced income stream, benefitting the whole area in terms of service provision. A BID provides the business community with a united voice and the ability to influence and shape the future. It acts as a catalyst to promote wider public and private investment into projects, which enhance the neighbourhood.
