It is now nearly five years since businesses voted overwhelmingly to continue to support the work of angel.london and maintain a Business Improvement District (BID) at the Angel.

Throughout this time we have kept our businesses at the heart of everything we do and continued to deliver on our key priorities of keeping the Angel safe, clean and welcoming.

Priorities

We are here to support you, our BID levy payers. Our work priorities are your priorities and have been developed in consultation with businesses.

In spring 2021 we asked businesses to identify which of our services that were most important to them. The feedback received has shaped our proposed priorities for the coming term.

your ballot paper by 5pm.

If ballot unsuccessful, all BID
services and activities will cease.

A postal ballot will take place over four weeks. Islington Council will conduct the ballot, as required by the BID Regulations and Government legislation.

The ballot needs to satisfy two tests:
• a majority by number of those voting and
• a majority in rateable value of those voting

All eligible businesses will be entitled to one vote per hereditament (rated business unit). Some businesses occupying more than one hereditament will get more than one vote.

Each BID is required to renew its mandate every five years. At our last ballot, in October 2016, 86% of voters supported the BID which was 93% of the rateable value.
