Provides a critical appraisal of government proposals for the introduction of business improvement districts (BIDs) in England and considers statute and case law against the draft Business Improvement Districts (England) Regulations 2004 while drawing on the experience of BID models in North America. Researches a number of areas of concern to those seeking to implement or pay a BID levy and identifies several areas in which the regulations will not achieve their stated aims as well as weaknesses in the voting and taxation provisions. Notes and references.
