Better Bankside is in the business of growing a strong and healthy local economy.
By bringing local businesses together since 2005, we’ve improved one of the world’s great neighbourhoods for everyone who works and does business here.
We are funded and led by you, our members.
Every five years we ballot our members to make sure they want us to continue delivering projects and services here in Bankside. Support for Better Bankside has increased at every ballot, with 92% of businesses voting yes in the last ballot (2019).
This November we are asking you to vote for us again.
We’re geared up to deliver our best ever programme in 2025-30. A yes vote will lock in £14m investment to deliver projects and services here in Bankside over the next five years.
Read our manifesto to find out more and say yes to a stronger, greener, happier Bankside.
Better Bankside is funded and led by you, our members. Businesses with a rateable value of £26,000 and over will pay 1.13% of their rateable value annually.
Every five years we ballot our members to make sure they want us to continue delivering projects and services here in Bankside.
At the end of October, your business will receive a voting paper for each hereditament (rateable property) that you occupy.
If you want Better Bankside to continue serving the neighbourhood from 2025-30 and delivering what has been set out in our manifesto, simply vote yes and return the ballot paper before 28 November 2024.
This is a postal ballot managed by Civica Election Services.
