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 />

YOUR PRIORITIES FOR <strong>BID</strong> TERM 2<br />

Safety (Street Rangers, lobby for better policing of foot streets, work<br />

with partners to reduce ASB)<br />

Appearance (cleanliness, working with landlords/ agents to<br />
