Business Survey - August 2019

Business Survey - February 2020

Since September 2018, businesses trading in Weymouth have enjoyed the benefits of being part of BID 2.

The aim of this survey is to conduct a review of what the businesses in Weymouth would like to see delivered.

The current five-year BID term comes to an end in August 2023 and consequently we need to confirm with you that the BID is focusing on your requirements. This questionnaire will help us to do this. We would be grateful if you would spare a few minutes of your time to complete it.

Naturally, all responses will be kept entirely confidential and not shared individually with others.

If you would like to discuss your views and complete the survey form with a member of the Weymouth BID team please contact the BID office via email at info@weymouthbid.co.uk and we will arrange a meeting with you.

Alternatively, please complete this electronic form:
