There is a meeting discussing BID this Sunday the 6th April, 5pm, at 1858.

Whether you agree with BID or not, we encourage as many people as possible to attend to discuss and express their views.

If there's not support for a BID proposal they say they won't pursue the option, let's see. 🤔

We are growing increasingly concerned about the new proposed Knaresborough BID, with lots apparently going on behind the scenes but similarly to last time with lots of us still not knowing. I have reached out to the proposers with questions on behalf of lots of concerned businesses, after reading very contradicting things online from no independents being included this time around, to then saying only businesses with a rateable value of £12k and above being included (which would include a LOT of independents) if you are unsure of your rateable value you can find it on-

Sadly this morning we have been told that the proposers of the BID will not communicate with us personally or via the business collective, despite us owning 5 business premises in the potential bid area, and us being key stakeholders with the council and a constant voice for all businesses in the town. We are looking in to how legal this is, especially if we are also levy payers. We just want answers to our questions as business owners, but it looks like we are not going to be able to get them. pro BID Meetings are apparently organised and hopefully more information will come to light soon so we all know where we stand and whether we will have a vote 🤞🏻please also feel free to do as they say and message any questions you have about the proposal.

Can't believe the negativity the BID people are spreading already! But more that that, they are insulting the intelligence of every Knaresborough business, by telling everyone they not allowed to do their own research into the pros and cons of the scheme, and can't be trusted to make your own informed voting decisions! Really?

Nothing has change in the attitude of the people behind BID, they want to tax Knaresborough businesses at any cost even if they cause upset. So clearly they don't have the best interests of Knaresborough businesses at heart, only their pride and self interests of getting their own way no matter who they upset.

What do people think about this wish list of the sort of ideas they want to spend the BID tax on?
