Wimbledon Town Centre in 2012, for the      needs. We pride ourselves in being responsive, flexible and innovative with a
                                            passion to achieve a high standard in all that we do.
Businesses of Wimbledon Town Centre.
                                            Over the next five years, Wimbledon Town Centre will face a number of challenges
                                            with council cuts, Crossrail 2 proposals and the changing face of retail. Wimbledon
                                            needs a voice and an action plan like never before. Love Wimbledon provides that
                                            voice for local businesses.

                                            Every five years all BIDs in the country must ‘renew’ through a ballot of local
                                            businesses who vote on whether they wish the BID to continue for another five
                                            years. Just to be clear, there is no competitor to vote for. If Love Wimbledon is
                                            not successful in the ballot, all the current activities and services will cease and
                                            Wimbledon will take a retrograde step to how it was four years ago.
                                            A ‘Yes’ vote for Love Wimbledon in September 2016 will ensure a strong
                                            representative voice for Wimbledon town centre, will enable the continuation of our
                                            services and will support new projects for the town centre for the next five years.
