Welcome to the Boston BID website

This website has been developed to provide information to BID members and other interested parties as to developments happening in the Boston Business Improvement District and to enable members to communicate with the BID team.

A potted history of the formation of the Boston BID can be found under "About Us" but in brief in October 2008 local businesses in Boston voted for the implementation of a Business Improvement District in Boston. In a ballot conducted by the Electoral Reform Services of those businesses that voted 72.8% by number and 83.9% by rateable value supported the principles that were detailed in the business plan prepared by the pre-BID team. (A copy of the business plan can be downloaded here).

In due course it is hoped to expand the website to include additional services such as a members directory and a secure members area. The BID team is also keen to receive feed back and suggestions from members as to what they wish to see happening in the BID area and if you have any suggestions you can contact us here.

Community Payback

As previously stated, the BID is making use of the Community Payback scheme to tidy up parts of Boston. On Tuesday 25th August the Community Payback team went into Mastins Court and spent their time clearing out the rubbish and the weeds that have built up over a period of time. Here are the before and after photos:

The clean up of Mastin's Court was undertaken at the request of one of the BID members and was completed in less than a day.

The improvement is dramatic and hopefully now that the hard work has been done the area will be kept tidy and weed free.

The final photo shows the number of rubbish bags that
 were filled and these were subsequently collected by Boston Borough Council.

If you would like to see a particular area tidied up then please use the contact page to submit your suggestions.
