Council & BID company ballot manipulation & corruption at it's finest by not letting the schools vote but pay.#BusinessImprovementDistrict https://t.co/LltuoLKJR2

She (Councillor Dawn Barnett) said: “I think they (Brilliant Brighton BID) should be having a ceremony to turn the lights on - they’re killjoys and Scrooges."

She should have more respect given how much money the BID is saving the Council !https://t.co/sKGjXytaw1
Okehampton Town Council are clearly determined to do what they can to help force in a BID.

Downtown Gibraltar BID faces backlash as businesses object to levyhttps://t.co/Ugo13zOQwL

They've deliberately cut the seafront businesses out of the BID map without consultation with them. So clearly @southendbid are just a bunch of hypocrites saying "the seafront businesses who are crucial to a thriving and dynamic local economy" #Southendhttps://t.co/lz3qri8PK2

Just shows what happens when a BID Board doesn't listen and act on the concerns of its levy paying businesses.#BusinessImprovementDistrict#KingsHeath #Birmingham @enjoykingsheath pic.twitter.com/TzfI4GITLB
Oh look, a BID company recognising the financial demands on their levy paying businesses so offering 40% levy reductions through a grant. Most BIDs been making excuses not to offer such help.#BusinessImprovementDistrict pic.twitter.com/tuvlUertgg

It is very disconcerting to know that over 200 local businesses were issued a summons for non-payment of the #bidlevy for the #Wightbid - Times are tough and this just makes it tougher #IsleofWight Some can't actually pay!

So @southendbid is playing an active role in conducting the BID ballot, which it should not as council responsibility. #BusinessImprovementDistrict #southend https://t.co/2SVLBCLBzG

Anorther Council trying to get a BID in it's area, why wouldn't it? Great way to save itself money by taxing the businesses. #Brentwood #BusinessImprovementDistricthttps://t.co/Abg8Sz77GQ
