The Swindon BID manifesto provides an easy-to-read overview of our plans to improve Swindon's business areas over the next five years. It outlines the priorities identified by local businesses, including safer streets, cleaner public spaces, better marketing and events, and stronger business support. It also explains how the proposed £2.5 million investment would benefit the area, how the BID would operate and what businesses can expect in return for their contribution.

The Swindon BID proposal is the formal document setting out the detailed arrangements for establishing and operating the new Business Improvement District from 2027 to 2032. It includes the proposed BID boundary, levy calculations, financial projections, governance arrangements, consultation findings and planned services. It provides businesses with the full information underpinning the ballot and explains how the BID would be funded, managed and held accountable.

The Swindon BID governance framework sets out how the new BID will be managed, how decisions will be made and how businesses can hold it accountable. It brings together eight key documents covering board responsibilities, directors’ conduct, financial controls, procurement, performance monitoring, risk management, business engagement and the proposed Articles of Association. The framework remains a draft, subject to board approval and legal review.
