about the BID

We are a group of Burnley based companies and organisations with the single aim of making the Burnley a better place to do business. Burnley BID Team includes representatives from retailers (large and small), bars/pubs, professional services, leisure industry and more.

Businesses and organisations voted in favour of the proposals in a ballot held In February 2025 that now approved and, will see over £1.5 million of private sector led investment into the town over the next five years. 

The Burnley BID 2 proposal document was the result of consultations with businesses and organisations as well as a draft business plan in Burnley earlier in 2024.  The feedback from those consultations identified a range of issues and opportunities that the Burnley BID would deliver through three themes as follows:

• Theme One – A safe, attractive and vibrant Burnley
• Theme Two – Destination Burnley
• Theme Three – Doing business in Burnley

• Reduced crime and anti-social behaviour – New investment into community safety and crime reduction projects creating a safer town 24/7.
