answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/04/2018 answer text <p>In 2015 the Government published best practice guidance, which makes clear that a Business Improvement District should be transparent and accountable to its levy payers. The use of social media, an up-to-date website, news releases, newsletters to levy payers, regular meetings and producing annual accounts, are some of the ways to ensure that the work of the Business Improvement District is open and available for scrutiny by its levy payers. Some Business Improvement Districts do already publish audited accounts and we recommend this as a way to ensure transparency.</p> answering member constituency Rossendale and Darwen answering member printed Jake Berry question first answered 19/04/2018 14:19:47 answering member 4060 label Biography information for Sir Jake Berry
