Cheltenham BID Secures third term following strong “yes” vote!

Friday October 31, 2025

We’re delighted to share that Cheltenham BID has received a fantastic result for its renewal ballot, with local businesses voting in support of continuing for another five years.

A BID is by business for business, and the mission is to transform the investment into visible positive change right across the town. Cheltenham BID wants to create a vibrant place that attracts customers, brings businesses together for a stronger collective voice and raise the profile of the town and the variety of businesses we support.

The ballot result speaks for itself, with an overwhelming 82% voting “yes” to continue supporting Cheltenham BID’s vision.

Francesca Inman, Chief Executive of Cheltenham BID said. “Thank you to all the businesses that voted. This result gives us a clear mandate to continue delivering for the town. We’ll stay focused on the practical things that make a difference day-to-day, while working together to keep Cheltenham moving in a positive direction”

In the next term, we’ll be focusing on four strategic pillars to enhance Cheltenham’s town centre, and this includes:

• Welcoming, ensuring the town is safe and clean.
• Connecting, bringing businesses together to influence positive change.
• Promoting, making sure businesses feel seen, supported, and celebrated.
• Thriving, investing in people and supporting growth.

Thank you for your vote of confidence and commitment. Let’s make the next five years truly remarkable – One Town and One Vision!
