Welcome
Welcome to St Albans BID, a Business Improvement District which is business led and business funded and formed to improve a defined commercial area. We work with local businesses and residents to create a vibrant, thriving, sustainable and resilient St Albans city centre by creating and investing in projects and initiatives that really deliver value back to the BID area, benefiting those who live, work and play here.
Our mission is to invest in projects and initiatives that deliver value to the BID area which will nurture an inclusive, vibrant city neighbourhood, support businesses and promote St Albans City and businesses as a premier, heritage destination, driving a prosperous local economy.
Today there are over 330 Business Improvement Districts (BIDs) across UK towns and cities with 30 in London alone.
