Newbury Town Centre Partnership is planning a public consultation on raising 1% business tax from town centre businesses to be used to improve things like safety, visitor numbers and appearance, which involves putting together a Business Improvement District business plan.
It looks like overheads for this are about 20%, with the other 80% of funds raised going directly to improvements. In the absence of any public consultation, I thought I'd start a thread to find out what we think. (PS I'm in favour). See here for how it's going in Reading. -------------------- Newbury's #1 ill-informed internet poster
