Sign the petition asking the Councils to abstain from voting in the ballot.
Businesses are signing a petition asking both Councils to abstain from voting in the BID ballot, and in the interests of fairness of a ballot without Council influence we encourage both yes and no voting businesses to sign it.
Note it is not vote no campaign literature. We could have lobbied and petitioned the councils to vote no, but haven't as we don't feel that would be fair on the yes voters, and it works both ways.
If you are a BID supporter / yes voter, ask yourself, do you really want to rely on Council votes to help force BID in against the majority of businesses?
Let's have the businesses of Minehead decide whether we do BID again, after all we are told it's for the businesses, decided on by the businesses.
Please see the letter below and if anyone wants to add their name to it just send us a FB message or email, or pop into Excom at 24 Friday Street.
