BID ballot

Newport Now is being led by businesses in Newport city centre who want to improve the area as a place to work and visit.

Newport Now is seeking to develop a Business Improvement District (BID), which would enable it to implement a 5 year programme of improvements to the city centre.

If the BID is formed, Newport Now will invest just over £1 million between 2015 and 2020 on a comprehensive programme of improvements.

Visit the Newport BID website to view a copy of the BID Proposal which sets out how the BID would enhance the city centre through a variety of projects and services.
