Shrewsbury Business Improvement District

Shrewsbury Business Improvement District (BID) is a not-for-profit partnership representing over 500 businesses in Shrewsbury town centre. In April 2024, the BID commenced its third five-year term, planning to invest over £2.5 million into promoting Shrewsbury and implementing projects to enhance the town centre. ​

A significant initiative in 2024 was the launch of the Future Shrewsbury Grants scheme, part of the Work in Shrewsbury (WISH) campaign. This scheme awarded a total of £30,000 in grants to 11 town centre businesses, supporting their growth and evolution. ​

Additionally, Shrewsbury BID reported that visitors spent more than £135 million in town centre shops and businesses during 2024. The busiest day was Saturday, December 14, marking the highest footfall recorded on High Street since 2015. ​

Through these efforts, Shrewsbury BID continues to play a pivotal role in enhancing the town's commercial environment, supporting local businesses, and promoting Shrewsbury as a vibrant place to visit, work, and live.
