The Gadbrook Park Business Improvement District (BID) will continue for another five years after businesses voted yes by an overwhelming majority in the ballot.
94% of businesses were in favour of another term for the Gadbrook Park BID with BID4 getting underway on 1st November 2024.
With over 80 unique business premises and 70 businesses, the Gadbrook Park BID provides an opportunity for companies and organisations to take a central role and be a leading influence in the area’s success. The result means that £1.2million worth of projects and initiatives will now be delivered on Gadbrook Park to support businesses over a 5 year term, allowing the BID to build upon the work they have carried out over the last 15 years.
Going forward, the Gadbrook Park BID will aim to retain Gadbrook’s position as a flagship business park in Cheshire, ensure the park is safe and secure and make it greener, cleaner and more sustainable for companies, organisations and their employees.
Chris McLaughlin, Chair of Gadbrook Park BID said “The improvements and services delivered by the Gadbrook Park BID over the past 15 years are numerous, wide ranging and important, I am delighted businesses have voted to continue the work of the Gadbrook Park BID. The new Business Plan provides an excellent vision for a better Gadbrook Park. Now we can get on with the job of delivering it.”
Hugh Shields, Business Improvement Districts Manager for Groundwork Cheshire, Lancashire and Merseyside, is delighted with the result and can’t wait for BID4 to start.
“This is a fantastic outcome for Gadbrook Park, it means that all the good work that’s taken place over the last 15 years isn’t undone.
It’s brilliant to know that 94% of businesses who voted are fully on-board with what we are trying to achieve too. The BID obviously wouldn’t be possible without their support and the great work they do.
Here’s to another productive five years and a great working relationship with the park’s businesses, organisations and the local community.”
Councillor Nathan Pardoe, Cabinet member for Inclusive Economy, Regeneration & Digital Transformation at Cheshire West and Chester Council said:
“I’m delighted that the Business Improvement District at Gadbrook Park has been successfully secured for another term and will continue for at least the next five years. The investment and delivery of projects and initiatives over the past 15 years has been clearly supported by the majority of businesses large and small, which is testament to the great partnership working between businesses and the BID. I look forward to another five years of progress and support for businesses to help drive growth in what is a key business cluster for Northwich and the wider area.”
