Abbey Quarter BID

The Abbey Quarter Business Improvement District (BID) is an area covered by a member-funded and governed set of initiatives. Currently in its first term, the Abbey Quarter BID was voted in after a successful ballot in February 2019, when of those who voted, 87% voted in favour by number and 87% in favour by rateable value (RV). Alongside the long-standing Reading Central BID, the Abbey Quarter BID aims to generate extra investment which will be used for initiatives and services to make Reading’s Abbey Quarter District safer, more attractive and connected, for its businesses and workers.

REDA's BID team has worked with many partners including Reading Borough Council and the Abbey Quarter BID Committee (made up of 12 Abbey Quarter businesses and partners) to deliver the 2019-2024 BID plan.
