What are the benefits?
BIDs provide sustainable funding for an agreed period of time. There is
no "freeloading" - those who vote have a voice, pay the levy and will
benefit. It is a transparent, clear and democratic process. It allows
self-management and self-funding with no red tape or bureaucracy. It
provides practical services to ensure a safe, well marketed and
supported environment. In the long term it will deliver significant
economic and quality of life benefits.
