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.
