BID Renewal - Our Second Term
Thank you for voting
A huge thank you to all the businesses who voted in the ballot. The results were announced on Friday 4th February and almost 70% of voting levy payers voted in favour of the BID’s ongoing work.
Our second term began in April, and there are plans in place to make sure we hit the ground running with initiatives that make our city centre cleaner, safer, more welcoming, more vibrant, and more resilient. We have some exciting news about upcoming plans to put St Albans on the map as a top visitor destination.
By working together, we can achieve great things and without the BID this level of investment simply wouldn’t exist. So, we would like to thank you for your support and look forward to a fruitful five years ahead.
