In February 2024, there will be a ballot to create Reading Central's fifth consecutive BID (2024-29). Levy paying businesses within the geographical area (below) that comprises the Reading Central 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 fourth Reading Central 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, 80% of the total number and 94% of the total rateable value said yes.
In the Reading Central BID 2024-29 website, you will find information about the Business Plan and the consultation process, key deliverables, a map of the Reading Central BID area, details of the current Reading Central Committee, a selection of key documents and testimonials from existing business levy payers.
