Find more information about the 7 BIDs in Lambeth.
Most UK BIDs are established for 5-year terms. On completion of the 5-year term a new ballot is held to see if the eligible businesses within the BID area would like to continue with the BID. The BID proposer will provide a proposal when announcing the ballot. The proposal will detail the arrangement the BID is proposing to establish and will detail their plan and levy arrangements.
A successful vote is one that has a majority both in votes cast and in rateable value of votes cast. Each business entitled to vote in a Business Improvement District ballot is allowed one vote in respect of each property occupied or, if unoccupied, owned by them in the geographical area of the Business Improvement District.
