In February 2024, there will be a ballot to create the Abbey Quarter’s second consecutive BID (2024-29). Levy paying businesses within the geographical area (below) that comprises the Abbey Quarter BID will be invited by vote on the 2024-29 Business Plan.
The Business Plan is based on a consultation in 2023 of levy payers who have shaped the proposed plan for the next five years. The proposed second term will operate from 1 April 2024 to 31 March 2029.
In February 2019, the first Reading Abbey Quarter BID was given a positive mandate by a ballot of businesses over £10K rateable value in the designated geographical BID area. Of those who voted, 87% of the total number and 87% of the total rateable value said yes.
In the Abbey Quarter 2024-29 website, you will find information about the Business Plan and the consultation process, key deliverables, a map of the Abbey Quarter BID area, details of the current Abbey Quarter Committee, a selection of key documents and testimonials from existing business levy payers.
