Newbury BID is in the final year of its current term, which ends on 31st May 2027. Every five years, BIDs must present a Business Plan and hold a ballot to give levy payers the opportunity on whether to vote in the BID for a new 5 year term. We are delighted to share our 2027-2032 Business Plan, which lays out our aims, ambitions, and the projects we will deliver over the next 5 years.
