CONSULTATION<br />
<strong>York</strong> <strong>BID</strong> is dedicated to delivering projects and services that<br />
businesses value, and that benefit both them and the local economy.<br />
In preparation for the new <strong>BID</strong> term, we launched an extensive consultation process where city<br />
centre businesses were invited to give feedback on existing <strong>BID</strong> services and to highlight their<br />
priorities for the future. During September 2020, a hard copy of our consultation survey was<br />
sent to all levy paying businesses by post as well as via targeted newsletters, social media, and<br />
the <strong>BID</strong> website.<br />
When asked ‘how valuable are <strong>York</strong> <strong>BID</strong> projects and services’ the<br />
majority of businesses chose Street Rangers, Street Cleaning and<br />
Winter Lights as the most valuable across the four programme areas.<br />
