Businesses Together As One.

The alliance for businesses to come together and say NO to the next BID Vote for Bilston in 2026.

Take a look at the Discover Bilston Business Improvement District Mid Term review and Health Check Report.

As updated by the board July 2025

This report was produced by Professor Chris Turner, Director of Research, at British BIDs.

Who are we?

We are a collective of people from local businesses within Bilston who are against how Bilston BID was set up 9 years ago, how it is managed, financial transactions hidden and businesses are forced to pay this levy with no benefit to their business whatsoever.

Why?

Bilston BID has made no improvements to our town footfall and most of all it has been mismanaged for the last 9 years by 5 different managers with no transparency on what our money is being spent on. Instead, every decision is made by a board of directors and a manager, who do not have a clue and keep everything behind closed doors

Our Objectives

Our objective is to have Bilston BID (Business Improvement District) closed. To do this we need to secure a majority of a NO vote at the next ballot in 2026.
