Kevin Brownell, project manager of the consultants Mosaic Partnership, has prepared this update, exclusively for llanblogger, on the Llangollen Business Improvement District (BID)
Consultation over the proposed Llangollen BID is continuing.
A BID is an arrangement whereby businesses get together, decide what additional
improvements they want to make, how they are going to manage and deliver those
improvements and what it will cost them.
This all goes into a business plan
which is voted on by all those who would have to pay.
The BID can last for a
maximum of five years and must be able to demonstrate how it has benefited
businesses who have funded it.
The BID organisers have been in Llangollen this week speaking to
businesses to discover their priorities for the town centre.
The feedback from
this consultation will go into a producing a summary business plan which will
outline potential project area’s the BID could focus on to deliver improvements
for businesses.
This will form the basis for further consultation in November
where potential levy payers will have further opportunity to discuss and
provide feedback on the proposals.
Following this period of consultation, the BID organisers
with the help of the BID Task Group, a representative group of businesses that
volunteer to work towards developing the BID, will produce the Final Business
Plan.
This will outline exactly what the BID is proposing to deliver, how it
will be governed, and funded.
This will be sent to all businesses in the
proposed BID area in January 2020 before a full 28-day postal ballot begins in
late February.
This will be the businesses' chance to decide if they want the
BID to go ahead.
