We have come a long way together since the first BID started on the 1st of April 2011. Today there is significant new investment in Langthwaite both by those new to the area and others that are already operating on the park who have decided to actively develop and grow their presence here. Investment continues with companies expanding and becoming more innovative. 

During this BID period, park companies have invested over £5 million in expansion and consolidation and just in the last three years over £4 million direct grant assistance was offered to a number of businesses on the park. Crime is still at an all-time low, roads are gritted in winter and the overall feel of the park is of a cleaner, greener and more dynamic place.

A BID can only last five years and the end of this one is in March 2021. With your help we have created a new business plan which ensures that the services you feel are important to you and your businesses over the next five years are funded, strengthened and continued. 

So please look out for the ballot papers, which will be in the post from the 7th of January 2021 and tick the box that says ‘YES’ for an even stronger Langthwaite in which your business can prosper.
