# The Community Right to Challenge (Business Improvement Districts) Regulations 2015, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Order)
These Regulations specify Business Improvement District bodies as a “relevant body” within the meaning of section 81(6) of the Localism Act 2011 (“the 2011 Act”). Under the 2011 Act, relevant authorities, defined as including a county council, a district council or a London borough council, are required to consider an expression of interest submitted by a relevant body in relation to providing, or assisting in providing, a service provided by or on behalf of a local authority.
Article 2 defines Business Improvement District bodies for the purposes of these Regulations. Under Article 2, this is the body, or bodies, responsible for implementing “BID arrangements”; however, the definition does not include a “local authority BID body” or bodies which are part of a joint arrangement with other bodies responsible for implementing BID arrangements where one of the bodies in the joint arrangement is a local authority BID body.
Article 2 defines “BID arrangements” and “local authority BID body” for the purposes of these Regulations.
