Almost a third of levy payers money to go on admin in #DiscoverLanark BID Proposal - https://t.co/DgQvtCPhrf

Businesses in #Lanark make sure you are fully informed about the implications of a Business Improvement District - The Business Plan certainly doesn't tell you everything. https://t.co/nWsuEXx218

The Business Prospectus for #Andover Business Improvement District seems to be lacking in actual business benefits for levy payers - https://t.co/DgQvtD6SiN

@nairnbookshop @GurnNurn The notice of election was published on the 21st. It's a postal ballot with ballot papers to arrive no later than the 5th July.

@GurnNurn Ballot papers going out to 281 local businesses right now to vote for a Business Improvement District. 5 Years of paying thousands on top of business rates for the town if this goes through. Check out the other side of the propaganda - https://t.co/nPcJloCw1J

@GurnNurn I wish you luck, we just want everyone to be aware of the problems that some BIDs have had with lack of transparency and funding issues. If anyone has any questions, happy to answer if I can.

@fbbbid Is there some reason this twitter feed is not announcing the BID Ballot and other information? This is not exactly keeping local businesses informed. #Fulham #FulhamBroadway

[Against BIDs @Against_BIDs]

Is the #Fulham Broadway Bid ( @fbbbid ) still going? The ballot has been announced but with so many changes is it still viable? - https://t.co/tSCAac7xvU

@bbc5live Did the Liverpool BID caller tell you how many thousands of pounds is paid by businesses to a private company to supposedly improve the town centre?

[Against BIDs @Against_BIDs]

Another #BID completely ignores the wishes of its levy payers. #Hexham businesses again suffering https://t.co/t8xDq1vUUv

[Against BIDs @Against_BIDs]

It looks like #Romford businesses will be going to ballot without much time to study a full business plan. I wonder if they have been warned they will be paying for 5 years?
