BUSINESSES have voted to continue an improvement district for another five year term. Notices of ballot were announced to hold a ballot of businesses in the Hwb Caernarfon Business Improvement District (BID) for a vote on whether were in favour or against the BID. Business improvement districts are a defined area in which a levy is charged on all business rate payers in addition to the business rates bill. The levy is then used to develop projects which will benefit businesses in the local area. During the ballot period in February, businesses received information regarding the BID offer and through the work of a group of local businesses and volunteers, the proposal was promoted as a unique opportunity for Caernarfon.
