BID Ballot 2024-29

Reading Central & Abbey Quarter BIDs Ballot (2024 – 2029)

On 31 March 2024 the current Reading Business Improvement District (BID) will end.  We would now like to consult with you, our BID businesses and stakeholders, to gather your feedback on the services and initiatives delivered in the current BID term and also get your thoughts on a new BID for 2024 - 2029. 

Reading’s Central BID began in 2007 covering the high street area of the town and was extended to include the Abbey Quarter in 2019 ensuring a coordinated and comprehensive service for both the retail and office users across the town centre.  16 years since we began Reading Central and almost five years since we began Abbey Quarter the BID term will officially finish on 31 March 2024.  More information on the ballot process will be available in the coming months but in the first instance we would like to get your feedback and thoughts for a new BID (2024-29).

Please complete our consultation survey giving us your feedback on the current BID services and your thoughts on what a new BID might look like (2024 – 2029)
