Since 2013 Lancaster BID has been a driving force of economic, cultural and social change in Lancaster city centre. As we approach the end of the second BID term, we are asking levy paying businesses to once again VOTE YES for another 5 years ensuring Lancaster remains a place where people want to live, work, visit and do business.
Read our Business Plan for all the details of the BID and our plans for the next five years from 1st April 2021. Based on our consultation with city centre businesses, we will focus on Five Key Goals:
- Marketing Lancaster as a Destination
- Safe and Secure City Centre
- Clean & Attractive City Centre
- High Quality Events Programme
- Direct Support to Businesses
A PDF version of the Business Plan is also available to download HERE
