Harrogate BID (Business Improvement District) is a not-for-profit organisation, funded for by businesses, to improve the area in which those businesses trade within. Harrogate has fantastic assets, but it not immune to the general challenges high streets across the UK face, whether it is a pandemic or a cost-of-living crisis. The work of the BID aims to support, safeguard and improve Harrogate for businesses, visitors and residents alike, to make the town the best it can be.
