Minehead BID pays SWT Council £44,587
This is interesting, the payments from BID made to SWT Council over the past 5 years to date (see image).
Total payments to SWT: £44,587
£35,243 taken just to collect levy payments, that's a whopping £7k / 6% of the annual levy budget.
£6,514 on plants into the council nursery coffers, were any local business suppliers even considered or tendered?
This is yet more money from businesses sent out of the local Minehead economy.
Add this to the £58k in payments to MTC, and the Councils have been paid nearly a full years total levy budget, c20% of all spending.
We'll leave you to make your own conclusions ......
