"BIDs are an additional tool for businesses to take more responsibility
for their own environment. People who want to improve their business
areas should be supported, as everyone wins. It's a democratic process
so BIDs will only be established if there is sufficient support.
RBS and it's customers will benefit from safer, cleaner and better managed business districts. We have supported Town Centre Management schemes in the past. BIDs will be better funded and should be able to achieve more.
BIDs in England have been well supported. Businesses have been prepared to back BIDs as an investment rather than see them as a tax.
RBS supports BIDs which are professionally managed and where business plans are judged to add value".
