Does the BRC support BIDs?
The BRC recognises that, if properly implemented, business improvement districts could provide retailers with an important tool to co-ordinate collective investment to improve their trading environment. BID services however must be genuinely additional to statutory and accustomed local authority provision and deliver tangible benefits to the retail community. The BRC is actively involved with key organisations developing BIDs and sits on the Steering Group for the National BIDs Pilot Project (ATCM/ODPM) and the London BIDs Advisory Board (CLP).
