Newcastle town centre
The Newcastle-under-Lyme Business Improvement District (BID) has now been in operation for 10 years. In this time it has attracted over £4m of income which has been invested in a wide range of projects aimed at improving the town centre’s appeal, safety, and economic vitality. These include marketing campaigns, public realm enhancements, business support initiatives, and events to boost footfall and community engagement.
The Newcastle BID is currently canvassing businesses to vote for a third term of five years. Find out more about the proposals, the business plan (PDF document on an external site) and the prospectus (PDF document on an external site) for the period 2026 to 2031.
