Purpose

The purpose of the report is to set out the
Council’s approach to voting in Business Improvement District
(BID) ballots and re-ballots.
To ensure it is private businesses that determine the result of the
ballot the Council intends to take a neutral position by abstaining
from voting in BID ballots and re-ballots. This decision seeks to
formally confirm this position.

Decision

That the Council abstains from voting in BID
ballots including the forthcoming Yorkshire Coast BID
re-ballot
