Business Improvement Districts

Business Improvement Districts are business led partnerships which are created through a ballot process to deliver additional services to local businesses.  They can be a powerful tool for directly involving local businesses in local activities and allow the business community and local authorities to work together to improve the local trading environment.

There are three Business Improvement Districts (BIDs) managed by Visit West:

Bristol City Centre BID

Broadmead BID

Redcliffe & Temple BID
