Stronger Together

One voice for the town centre.

By pooling resources, BID businesses achieve more than any one business could alone.

How it works

Your money, working harder

Secured over £20m of Government investment in Eastbourne.

Your BID attracts additional funding raised through grants and sponsorship, making our money work harder.

The Board represents all sectors and areas of the BID.

Funding can only be spent in the BID area.

BIDs provide additional resources, which is why we have a baseline agreement with the Council.

Eastbourne Borough Council and East Sussex County Council pay into the levy as well, as both have properties within the BID area.

1.5% of rateable value, for businesses with a rateable value of £6,000 or more.

This is an estimate for guidance only. Your levy bill is the definitive figure — get in touch if you have a question about it.
