Byres Road & Lanes BID Update

The result of the ballot to create the business improvement district for Visit West End - Byres Road & Lanes was announced on Friday. The Ballot was held by post with polls closing at 5 pm on Thursday 26 February 2015.

The result gives approval to the development of the Business Improvement District (BID). Since the initial discussions, I have given my support to the development of the BID due to general concerns about the vacant shop units and need for investment in the street. It makes sense to bring businesses together and work on shared plans which aim to boost the local economy. A five year business plan will be implemented as part of the BID.
