BID Objectives

Rhyl BID’s objectives are to make Rhyl a better place to shop, study, stay, visit and do business.  It aims to drive the Town forward, improving experiences, standards and adding value, working in collaboration with all sectors.

We help make Rhyl a cleaner, safer and more welcoming place, raising its profile through events and marketing campaigns, bringing direct benefits to businesses and enhancing the experience of the Town to users.

We enable a co-ordinated investment in the place management and marketing of Rhyl and its businesses, delivering on a set of agreed business priorities, addressing five core themes identified and agreed during the formation of the most recent business plan.
