In 2021 Cheltenham BID Ltd sought a second term and requested Cheltenham Borough Council to administer the ballot in accordance with The Business Improvement District Regulations (England) 2004. A renewal ballot of eligible businesses was conducted utilising the services of Civica Election Services, which is an independent scrutineer licensed by the Government to conduct elections.
The ballot was declared successful on 2 July 2021 as follows;
86% majority by number voted yes and 90% majority by rateable value voted yes.
The current BID term 2021 to 2026 enters its final year in April 2025 and therefore preparations for the next renewal ballot are taking shape. This is your chance to decide whether the BID continues for another five years.
“We’ve made real progress together, but we’re only just beginning. A YES vote means we can keep building on what we’ve started, bringing even more value to your business and helping Cheltenham be the very best it can be.”
