2022 marks the end of Hamilton BID’s current 5-year term in the town.
We believe that our work offers great value for money and brings many benefits to the BID area. To enable the BID to continue beyond Autumn 2022 and in turn all of the initiatives to continue we will be asking for your support.
This is your BID and as a result, we need your views to help shape the vision for the BID and business plan for a new term IF businesses wish us to return. We ask that you fill in the online form with as much detail as you can to support future plans. I will aim to visit all of you in the area to discuss the BID but ahead of that please don’t hesitate to call me or email me at malcolm.thomasharley@hamiltonbid.org
