Dublin City BID

The Dublin City Business Improvement District began its operations just over a year ago in March 2008. It was established by almost 2,000 businesses in the Parnell Street to Stephen’s Green area of Dublin City Centre to create a vibrant welcoming environment by providing additional services that make the area Cleaner, Greener & Safer for all who use it.

The Christmas Windows Competition saw over 70 businesses within the Dublin City BID area competing for first place in five different Christmas Window Display categories which included best Department Store, Small Retail outlet, Medium Retail outlet and Santa Grotto. The competition ran in the month of December in conjunction with Ireland.com with the top six winners being voted by members of the public. Voters were in with the chance to win one of several Dublin City Gift Cards.

The Dublin City Gift Card is a Pre-paid MasterCard® and is processed through the same procedures as a normal MasterCard® transaction, providing a level of familiarity and assurance to sales associates and consumers alike. There are no additional charges or equipment required to accept the Dublin City Gift Card, and all payments will be processed in the same manner as a standard MasterCard® Transaction. The Dublin City Gift Card should be accepted by any business accepting MasterCard® as a payment method.

Excellence In Local Government Awards

Dublin City Council in partnership with Dublin City BID was named the winner of the Boots Partnership with Business Award at the 6^th Annual Chambers Ireland Excellence in Local Government Awards Ceremony.

Further to the success of the colourful planters that we supplied to several streets in the city this summer, we have decided to re-plant these displays with a brand new range of winter plants.

Since we established Ireland’s first Business Improvement District 18 months ago we have successfully implemented a substantial amount of the programmes outlined in the BID proposal submitted to Dublin City Council in June 2007. Indeed, many initiatives not originally envisaged have also been successfully undertaken.
