GO! Southampton will go to ballot in this October to November to secure the mandate and investment to continue for a further five years. GO! Southampton’s mission is to strive to continuously improve the city centre by delivering relevant services, providing a voice for businesses, influencing strategy and being a catalyst for positive change.

With almost 5 years under our belt and a track record of making things happen, GO! Southampton has earned its place as a credible contributor to the success of the City Centre. As we near the end of our first five year term we are now seeking your feedback and suggestions to assist us in preparing our proposal for 2022-27.

In October 2021, along with all eligible businesses in the BID area, you will be invited to vote on whether you would like GO! Southampton to continue for a further five years. Without your support and a majority YES vote at the ballot, GO! Southampton will be wound down and all of the services and projects it delivers will come to an end.

If you’re a business ratepayer in the BID area, please vote for GO! Southampton to be re-elected in the upcoming ballot. Your vote will ensure that we continue this vital work to support your business community for a second term (2022-2027).

The postal ballot will take place from 14 October to 11 November 2021.

For more information, please see the dedicated ballot page. You can read the next 5 year plan, find out full details on how to vote, hear what other businesses think and share your views in the consultation survey.
