The Bury BID Ballot
Bury BID’s first term ends on 31 July 2027. Eligible businesses will have the opportunity to vote on whether the BID continues for a further five years, from 2027 to 2032.
Since the BID was established, it has put money directly into making Bury town centre safer, cleaner and busier. Events, business support, street improvements and town centre safety have all been funded through the levy. That work only continues if businesses vote YES.
