What is a BID?

Introduced as part of government legislation in 2004, Business Improvement Districts (BIDs) are an opportunity for businesses to coordinate investment in their area in a way that improves it as a place to do business.

BIDs are business-led and business-funded not-for-profit organisations working in a defined area, set up by a ballot of businesses.

BIDs create significant sums of investment across the UK and put it in the hands of locally situated businesses. Future Wood Green (Wood Green’s BID) expects to raise approximately £2,000,000 investment over its five year term and use this to leverage in extra match-funding.

What we do

Our aim is to transform Wood Green and Turnpike Lane into a vibrant destination for both locals and visitors. Our initiatives focus on four main areas:
