Blue Bermondsey BID Renewal Ballot 2023
We are asking our eligible businesses to vote yes to our proposals for a third term at the renewal ballot which runs from 30th October until 5pm on 23rd November 2023. .
If you are a levy paying business your levy contribution and support are the backbone of all we do and this website, its content and all of our operations have been made possible by you. Without a majority yes vote, we will not be able to continue doing what we do.
Only a yes vote to our proposals for a third term serving your businesses will ensure we can carry on working for you and continue strengthening the relationships and partnerships that we have built across two terms of operation. Working together we have brought so many positive enhancements to the area, through a wide range of projects, events and activities.
Our proposals have been sent to all eligible businesses by post, however you can read these online if preferred, by clicking the button below.
