  • Published

A business improvement district (BID) has been renewed for another five years following a vote.

Love Newquay said its members in the town voted "overwhelmingly" in favour of renewing for a fourth term.

It said this would allow up to £1.1m to be invested in projects and services in the town's commercial area.

Newquay BID manager Mark Warren said "we will do everything we can" to support businesses.

The BID, which began in 2011, said it received the strongest vote in favour of renewal with 84% of members supporting the move.

The new five-year term will begin on 1 April 2026.
