Consultation process
Ahead of the Salisbury BID ballot in February, a comprehensive consultation was held with its business members in summer 2018 to find out what businesses want the BID to deliver in the next five years. More than 300 BID levy payers took part in the consultation. Members were asked for feedback on key areas of the BID’s work including marketing, events, business support and ensuring the city is welcoming, safe and clean. The results from the consultation have shaped the BID’s business plan proposal (2019-2024).
