After nearly a decade of dedicated service to businesses, visitors and the local community, the vote to shape the next chapter of Marble Arch BID begins on Wednesday 4 February 2026, with ballot papers sent by post to the named voter at each business’s nominated address. This gives every BID member the opportunity to have their say on how the area is supported and improved over the next five years.
Businesses will have until 5pm on Thursday 5 March 2026 to return their completed ballots. The result will be announced on Friday 6 March. If a majority of businesses, by both number and rateable value, vote in favour, Marble Arch BID will commence its third term on 1 April 2026.
Since 2016 Marble Arch BID has delivered services and projects that make the area cleaner, safer, and more vibrant, while helping local businesses thrive. From the Marble Arch Street Team and tailored business training to public realm improvements, events, area promotion, and employee volunteering, these essential services would cease without the BID. You can explore the full range of plans for 2026-2031 in our Renewal and Alteration Proposal, which outlines the projects, services, and improvements we aim to deliver over the next five years.
The support of BID members is essential. A ‘Yes’ vote ensures the continuation of these services, investment, and collaborative working, allowing Marble Arch to remain a thriving, vibrant destination for businesses, visitors, and the local community.
