Despite the Council and Taunton BID saying so, there was no government advice or legal option to suspend the BID Ballot, only ‘annul’ it.

It’s staggering how Taunton BID try to legitimise their decision by saying they were following government advice passed through British BIDs (which by the way are not an official government organisation, but rather private profit making advisory company), in addition to giving the impression the decision was nothing to do with BID, but rather just the decision of SWT Council. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f8c4500e26fef54c8013fff/1603028301993-0L4DK7EFGT4SHYRA1YZG/swbcc+9.PNG Taunton - Why did the Taunton BID ballot really get stopped?

As the BID supporter states, a BID declared it’s result with 80% turnout a couple days after Taunton - that ballot was clearly not affected by coronavirus disruption, just like the other 2 BID ballot results a couple days before Taunton. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f8c4500e26fef54c8013fff/1603028302005-EYE1E7410JJZHGHANQZI/bid+ballot+report+who+voted.png Taunton - Why did the Taunton BID ballot really get stopped? Taken from technical guide for local authorities, published by the government. This throws into doubt the claim that when the decision was made to suspend the ballot, SWT Council / BID say they didn’t know who had voted so far. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f8c4500e26fef54c8013fff/1603028302009-ZVL7CX27FSWQ4J3XJZQ6/BID+FOUNDATION+BALLOT+NULL+VOID.PNG Taunton - Why did the Taunton BID ballot really get stopped? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f8c4500e26fef54c8013fff/1603028302012-CPPHEG43VAOFBZTTJ55I/swbcc+10.PNG Taunton - Why did the Taunton BID ballot really get stopped?

Minhead BID minutes 17 Dec 19. Drains are definitely not a BID responsibility, it’s good that a problem has been identified but the BID public realm sub-group shouldn’t be investigating further and seek solutions; surely it needs to be pushed straight to the District Council for resolving? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f8c4500e26fef54c8013fff/1603028301941-8V4CMH72KW755WFG1RF9/19+nov+tree+match+funding.png Taunton - Minehead Town Council loves funding from it’s BID!

Minehead BID minutes 21 Jan 20. So the BID are awaiting an idea of costs from SWT Council? Is the BID intending to pay SWT to repair and replace street furniture, rather than ensure the Council simply meets it’s public realm obligations? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f8c4500e26fef54c8013fff/1603028301956-7HS5A0J92N88X1QTVTXX/10+july+somerset+highways+tree+replacement.png Taunton - Minehead Town Council loves funding from it’s BID!

The Councillor suggested “that perhaps the BID could become involved”, we wonder why, anything to do with helping the Council fund the CCTV? Even if BID declined this, just shows how Councillors might think, knowing there is a pot of BID money they can try and dip into (as also appears the case with some of the other examples we’ve shown on this page). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f8c4500e26fef54c8013fff/1603028301962-QQZRS26Y5XWZYV2NEBGJ/minehead+21+jan+paint+public+realm.JPG Taunton - Minehead Town Council loves funding from it’s BID!

Minehead BID minutes 12 Feb 19. BID are doing the public realm in Minehead a favour by adding hanging baskets, but looks like MTC are happy to profit from the watering at about £3 per basket per water. We wonder how hard BID negotiated on the price, or whether they even went out to commercial tender to local businesses rather than just opt for and give the cash to the Council. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f8c4500e26fef54c8013fff/1603028301971-14IK8SDREFLAACZNGLLX/minehead+mins+21+jan+hanging+baskets.png Taunton - Minehead Town Council loves funding from it’s BID! Minehead BID minutes 21 Jan 20. Minehead BID are clearly willing to help the Council improve the florals of Minehead, doesn’t exactly encourage the Council to strive to invest more does it? Yet again the Council are also charging BID for its Grounds Staff to water BID‘s baskets alongside their own. Given one can see how much the Council are benefiting from the BID you’d think there would be more “give & take”; well less take by the Council from the BID where charging them for watering is concerned. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f8c4500e26fef54c8013fff/1603028301974-2ZG8MA5ZK6YCFN3GCILK/minehead+bid+baseline+florals+long.JPG Taunton - Minehead Town Council loves funding from it’s BID! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f8c4500e26fef54c8013fff/1603028301977-TW2R03XRKITVUROQ63IF/minehead%2Bbid%2Bswt%2Bcouncil%2Bloves%2Bthe%2Bmoney.png Taunton - Minehead Town Council loves funding from it’s BID! https://www.againstbid.org/blog-taunton-bid/taunton-bid-doesnt-like-to-say-its-a-council-partnership-but-thats-exactly-what-it-is-l3nw7-4gjza monthly 0.5 2020-10-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f8c4500e26fef54c8013fff/1603028301894-QKM5109WKHBRXMNHGCVU/baselines+statutory+quote+taunton+bid+yellow+highlight.PNG Taunton - We risk losing SWT Council services and BID are deceiving voters about this.

It's already easy to see just how entwined Taunton BID and SWT Council are, they even share the same stock images and branding already.

So why on earth Taunton BID want to tax businesses and spend 60% of the project budget on loads more seems a crazy waste of money when high street costs are high enough. Interestingly the Council has already asked BID if it would consider taking on the Ice Rink if voted in, and this and other Council backed town centre events do not appear in the Baseline Agreements. So if BID is voted in there’s a very real risk the BID ends up absolving responsibility for these events from the Council! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f8c4500e26fef54c8013fff/1603028301855-IQVJM46IOBMGT1G5AK2Z/beverly+bid+concerns+events+quote.JPG Taunton - ‘Creating a Vibrant Taunton - events & activities’ (business plan response) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f8c4500e26fef54c8013fff/1603028301858-R567SWV9HBSW2H9U8HUJ/chippenham+event+bid.JPG Taunton - ‘Creating a Vibrant Taunton - events & activities’ (business plan response) Even this council thinks funding events it's BID once held would not a good investment!

With the ending of formal Town Centre Management in Tooting, a report by the Chief Executive of Wandsworth Council on the NO outcome of the Tooting Business Improvement District ballot (November 2019) confirms a voluntary business association will be established to provide ‘the voice” a BID would have as a focal point for future engagement with the Council and other agencies. A good council will value business representation in what ever form, and Tooting is an example of a Council willing to embrace this approach. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f8c4500e26fef54c8013fff/1603028301827-G9Q5AXS3BRLRKHO8EW1H/brochure+download+no+taunton+bid+with+character.PNG Taunton - ‘Have your say’ (business plan response) Click on image to download our 8 page PDF booklet (opens in a new window). https://www.againstbid.org/blog-taunton-bid/safer-and-secure-zlnlw monthly 0.5 2020-03-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f8c4500e26fef54c8013fff/1603028301722-PF39KEY9KVB1DM2OY5KX/crime+whsmith+quote.PNG Taunton - ‘Making Taunton Safe & Secure’ is a crime scandal in itself!

Dated 4th March 2020 The South West Business Crime Centre has reviewed Taunton BID’s Business Plan crime offering and it makes quite damning reading! Bottom line is that as we’ve been saying, the Taunton BID ‘safer & secure' offering is merely a poorly thought out token offering and really not fit for purpose. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f8c4500e26fef54c8013fff/1603028301754-6UA2BDPTP0KCQF8TGHOP/poole+bid+manager+crime+antio+social+not+open.PNG Taunton - ‘Making Taunton Safe & Secure’ is a crime scandal in itself! (business plan response) News article 14/02/20, click on image to open in a new window. This is a town with a BID developed by the BID Consultant currently developing the Taunton BID plan. A survey recently reported that Poole has the worst high street in the UK, and now it's own BID Manager has said the town centre looks "tired, tatty and unloved" and "wouldn't recommend" new independent shops open there". It’s a good example of a town not having an effective crime & anti-social behaviour reduction strategy, which has ultimately led to Poole’s High Street problems. From the evidence we have shown Taunton BID appears to have not taken crime & anti-social behaviour seriously, so we are worried Taunton could go in the same direction. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f8c4500e26fef54c8013fff/1603028301757-0276OLO2LDF9ZZP7D7KN/andy+sharman+gazette+6+feb+20.PNG Taunton - ‘Making Taunton Safe & Secure’ is a crime scandal in itself! (business plan response) This crime centre business leader appears to know a lot about BID crime reduction solutions, so interesting that in his comments he is expecting to see a strong crime solution from Taunton BID to match the state of crime in the town - so we think he’ll be disappointed if he reads the Taunton BID business plan! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f8c4500e26fef54c8013fff/1603028301760-CY7TFXGPAX1GRQRZV7KT/british+bids+survey+2019+crime.PNG Taunton - ‘Making Taunton Safe & Secure’ is a crime scandal in itself!

Click image to enlarge. The revised Taunton BID map released 16th December 2019. A few tweaks here and there from the July version, but just helps demonstrate why the map is still biased and unfair. A few of the changes: Now excludes all of Middle Street & most of Lower Middle Street, includes all of Paul Street and the M&S car park, includes end of the High Street, includes the bus station, excludes businesses on Wood Street, excludes Mei’s on East Street, includes Cooper Associates on St James Street. A few in and a few out, depending on whether they’re likely YES or NO voters, but a major surprising addition is Brendon House on the High Street (the DWP / Job Centre building) yet still choosing to exclude Morrisons. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f8c4500e26fef54c8013fff/1603028301656-528E84ZDL7V41AN66BXS/alternative+taunton+bid+map.jpeg Taunton - The Taunton BID map is biased and unfair.

The blue lined area is the last BID area, and the red shading is over the town centre areas Taunton BID have taken out of the map this time. They've been kind to the councils by not including the district or county council offices this time, although managed to push the boundaries to include as many car parks as they can of course, to private tax the public purse for something and hope for some council votes. One car park included in the map has no public access within the BID area. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f8c4500e26fef54c8013fff/1603028301663-NR2I243E19548YJH3EQW/Q%26A+draft+maps+taunton+bid+taunton+bid.PNG Taunton - The Taunton BID map is biased and unfair. Q&A with Taunton BID in September 2019, based on the July 2019 map (below). The following are a few of the changes in the finalised December 2019 map: a. Zizzi’s now included. b. Both Sainsbury’s and M&S car parks now included. c. No change, Canon Street still included with no public access within the BID area. d. No change, Wood Street car park still included, yet still no adjoining businesses. In fact they’ve now taken out the only 2 businesses they had originally included on Wood Street. e. No change, Morrison’s still excluded despite it’s town centre location and yet Sainsbury’s is included, all because Taunton BID are scared Morrisons could vote NO in the ballot. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f8c4500e26fef54c8013fff/1603028301666-4K52RBIDZGTA9WV9R57O/BID+map.PNG Taunton - The Taunton BID map is biased and unfair.

This beggars belief and demonstrates map manipulation at it's finest!! Why on earth do Taunton BID suddenly think the Job Centre would naturally be a good addition to the BID area, whilst still excluding businesses like Morrisons? It’s subjective map manipulation at its finest in an attempt to secure massive council RV votes, to meet their project aims of getting any type of BID voted in at the expense of doing the right thing by all Taunton businesses.

The failed Taunton BID 2007-12 experienced a lack of financial transparency, and this is what Taunton Deane Borough Council reported in 2012. Accounts aside, clearly it was also felt that the Management Board needed to be refreshed as they were’t doing a good job; governance problems! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f8c4500e26fef54c8013fff/1604788918175-WXNGD9BX3HYNI497VMCC/financial%2Baccountability%2B-%2BLargys%2BBID.png Negative aspects & risks of BIDs - Too much power for a few people, with a lack of financial transparency & accountability.

A levy payer fails to get straight funding answers from Aberdeen Inspired (BID). Compelled by law to contribute hard earned revenues to the BID, just goes to show levy payers are seemingly not allowed to know what, where, why or how their money is being spent! Also says the BID won’t even share Board Minutes beyond the Board. Doesn’t sound very democratic or transparent does it? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f8c4500e26fef54c8013fff/1604789011260-SSPJ6QXMU97GMU5UQNKQ/rugby%2Bbid%2B500k%2Bunaccounted%2Bfor.jpg Negative aspects & risks of BIDs - Too much power for a few people, with a lack of financial transparency & accountability.

In this article the BID Directors make it clear they have decided what they want the main BID funding strategy to be, and that’s to market Knaresborough as an overnight / short stay destination. But shouldn’t they wait to decide that until they’ve consulted with as many businesses as possble to see what the majority want to spend the BID money on? Unfortunately the BID Directors seem to be ‘jumping the gun’ and making decisions for all Knaresborough businesses whether they like it or not! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f8c4500e26fef54c8013fff/1614383362462-NIW10KUDR2AD3KTH1QME/article+august+2020.PNG Knaresborough Business Improvement District (BID) Click on headline article image above to open the article in a new window. In this article the BID proposers admit they are happy to establish the BID on the say of only c25% of Knaresborough businesses! That’s right, of c380 voting business the BID Directors have already publicly stated they are aiming for 100 votes to win, so they clearly don’t care if the true majority of businesses want a BID in Knaresborough of not!

Make it stand out The BID Directors have taken it upon themselves to include 61 more businesses in the BID area, without any proper consultation. The businesses in the proposed new BID boundary have not been part of BID for the past 10 years because HWBIDCo knows they will not benefit from the services it provides. So why on earth the Directors outside of their own formal BID renewal consultation process have suddenly deemed that we now will benefit really is beyond everyone. In a very underhanded way these businesses are being ‘dragged‘ into the BID area without proper consultation, effectively being forced into the BID boundary at ballot. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f8c4500e26fef54c8013fff/5e36b7a0-2ec0-4b09-b5c1-36e333793db6/council+quopte+draw+map.jpg HWBIDCo -
