The BID is operated by a BID team led by a voluntary Board of Directors, representing the businesses who operate in the city, and including designated positions for our city’s large institutions and observers from residents’ groups and Kent Police. Each of them volunteer over 40 hours of their time each year to the BID. The Board takes responsibility for the strategic and financial management of the BID. Alongside the Board there are a variety of working groups and committees that feed into the Board.
Board minutes, operations reports and annual accounts are published on the BID website.
