Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Business Improvement District (BID)?
Business Improvement Districts, like ours, are business-led organisations set up in defined areas by like-minded business people who work together to positively improve their local trading environment.
How is a BID funded?
BIDs are funded by a small, compulsory annual business levy based on the rateable value of all eligible businesses in the BID area. This means that irrespective of how a business votes in the ballot, it is legally obliged to contribute to the BID levy once a majority votes in favour.
How do I pay my BID levy?
You can pay by direct debit, debit card, internet banking, phone, or by sending a cheque to London Borough of Bexley. Specific details are available on their website.
Where does the levy money go?
Funds are ONLY for BID projects above and beyond those delivered by the local Council, meaning all contributing businesses share in the benefits derived from these improvements.
How do I contact the BID team?
You can contact the Bexleyheath BID team via email at info@bexleyheathbid.co.uk or by telephone at 020 8304 0775.
Always check the official website for the most current information.
