Lincoln BIG voted in for fifth term

Lincoln Business Improvement Group has won the ballot of city levypayers.

Just over 85% of voters gave BIG the mandate to continue its mission to keep improving the Lincoln ‘experience’ for residents and visitors alike.

There is a ballot every five years among levypayers and after the result was announced the Lincoln BIG team described it as a ‘win for us all’.

Head of Operations Lee Roberts said: “We are thrilled with the ballot result and we thank the businesses who voted yes for doing so, it is great to know we have the support of businesses in the city and we will continue to deliver for them in the next term. 

“We are not going to sit and wait to begin delivery, it will be a seamless process from this term to the next as we develop our delivery plans and continue to showcase Lincoln.

 Simon Beardsley, Chief Executive added: “A fantastic team effort has allowed Lincoln BIG to enter a fifth term. 

“Thank you to all those involved in the ballot. To our staff team for their dedication, directors for their insight and to our levy payers for their ongoing support. 

“In challenging times this decision will help Lincoln to keep its rightful place as one of the area’s best places to work, live and visit.”
