Businesses back town centre improvement district proposals
Town centre businesses in Burnley have backed ambitious plans to create a Business Improvement District (BID).
Businesses voted in favour of the proposals that could see a £1 million investment in the town centre over the next five years in a ballot held during the past month.
Almost three-quarters (71%) of the town centre business voted in favour, representing 77% of ratetable value, giving a strong mandate for a first-time BID.
