𝙄𝙩'𝙨 𝙖 𝙮𝙚𝙨! Businesses across Luton have voted in favour of renewing their status as a Business Improvement District (BID) – securing £2.2 million to be spent on continuing to improve the trading environment and represent business interests over the next five years. This positive result follows many months of planning, in-depth interviews, surveys and a month-long ballot in which businesses in the town centre were asked to vote on the proposals. 82% of votes cast voted in favour of the BID Renewal Ballot by total number of businesses, and 88% of votes cast voted in favour of the BID by Rateable Value. This is an even better result than the previous ballot in 2019. The BID has provided a range of support to businesses over the last five years. This has included an Ambassador, targeted street cleaning, floral displays and new lighting, new public street furniture and artwork and events to drive footfall such as character meet and greets. As a result of the yes vote, the renewal of Luton BID will commence on the 1st January 2025 and businesses with a rateable value of £12,001 or above will pay a levy based upon their rateable value, creating a collective fund of more than £2.2 million to spend over the next five years.
