BIDs are being allowed to creep in via undemocratic ballots. Central Government gives financial backing only to those wanting to establish a BID. This ignores and/or undermines any attempt at a NO campaign.

The Ministry of Communities, House and Local Government BID regulations are woefully inadequate and have allowed a culture of lack of BID accountability and transparency to run rife throughout the UK with no independent regulator.
