Penzance BID Third Term Consultation Survey

Penzance Business Improvement District (BID)
Third Term Consultation 2025-2030

Please respond by Sunday 30th June 2024
 

On behalf of our Penzance BID Board, I would like to thank all our businesses for their contributions to Penzance, whether that be through the BID levy or by giving their time, skills, knowledge or expertise to Penzance BID during the last ten years.

Penzance BID’s second term finishes on 31st May 2025 but can be renewed subject to a new business plan being published and a ballot held where every levy paying business has a vote. Ahead of this process, we want to hear from all our levy paying businesses.

Your feedback and ideas will inform a new five-year business plan to be published in late summer ahead of a ballot in September/October 2024, where you will have the chance to vote ‘yes’ or ‘no’ to the continuation of the BID. For the BID to proceed to a third term, there must be a majority voting in favour by number and by rateable value of premises.

Please help us shape the next five year’s worth of investment in Penzance – remember it is your BID scheme and it’s vital that it reflects your needs whilst supporting the future prosperity of our town.

Sarah Shaw, BID Manager 

*How We Will Use Your Data
Please note that the information you provide will be kept confidential and individual responses will remain anonymous unless you tell us we can publish a testimonial from you. Feedback will be summarised and used for the purpose of preparing the Penzance BID third term business plan. Giving your business name allows us to understand the view of levy payers from different sectors, business sizes and areas within the BID boundary as well as ensuring we have the correct contact details so you have the right to vote later in the year.
