A new business plan has been drawn up to raise the profile of the city of Leicester, create a cleaner, safer environment, and provide a strong voice for businesses.
BID Leicester, the group behind the city’s Business Improvement District, has come up with a new plan outlining its vision for the city centre over the next five years. It is business led and business-funded and every major city in the UK has a BID.
City businesses voted in a five-year term for the BID in November 2017, and it is funded by a 1.25 per cent levy on business rate payers in the city centre BID area, with a rateable value over £20,000.
