Decision details

The Executive was reminded that the Camberley Town Centre Business Improvement District (BID) had been established in 2011 and was operated by Collectively Camberley. The BID, approaching the end of its second five year period of office, was asking the Camberley business community to vote for a further five year term of operation.

Members considered a report which detailed the services provided and the benefits received from the BID, including the impact on the Council in the event that the BID was not re-established. It was reported that the Camberley Town Centre Working Group had considered the work of the BID and had recommended that the Council votes in favour of a further term for all hereditaments for which the Council was liable for a BID levy. 

RESOLVED that

(i)        the BID renewal process be supported with a “yes” vote, as recommended by the Camberley Town Centre Working Group, for all hereditaments for which the Council was liable for Business Rates; and

(ii)      the Leader of the Council takes on the Role of Board member on behalf of the Council, supported by The Executive Head of Business as a non-voting officer on the BID Board.
