Your Billericay

Billericay is a lively town centre serving an immediate population of circa 31,000 people. It has a town council and is part of the area served by Basildon Borough Council. But, until now, it has not had a locally elected business voice. Business Improvement Districts (BIDs) are run by local businesses for the benefit of local businesses, giving commercial operators the chance to influence improved outcomes and progress in the town. Funded by a small levy contributed by businesses within a defined boundary, BIDs are decided via a ballot amongst participating businesses. The successful vote for Billericay went through in November 2024 and this page features updates on the activity of the BID now operating in the town, representing over 200 members.
