So its almost time for the businesses of the city to say whether they wish to continue funding BID, which in my case amounted to £5000 over 5 years.
They say that they have a lot more to do, frankly I have seen no improvement trade wise in the City, yes plenty of charity shops and empty shops and now proposals of more out of town developments, which no doubt will keep shoppers out of the city centre.
Please think twice before voting yes to the continuation of funding BIDS for another 5 years, don't forget if you throw your voting slip in the waste bin, its as good as voting yes.
