Publicity Needed

I have been speaking with business owners in the Living Lochaber area, which is HUGE taking in Fort William etc approx 2500 eligible businesses. Guess what ? They estimate that 1200 know nothing about
 BID !  Also they cannot get access to the list of eligible businesses, just like Largs.
At least they are finding out the truth BEFORE THE BALLOT.
I am very angry with the FSB, as I had the interest of a tv journalist, but when he contacted the press office of the FSB, he was told that most BID areas were successful, and undermined our legitimate demand for a re-ballot, giving the impression we were anti-BID protesters who had received the info and ballot papers but had not voted ! Anyway BID had been established in Largs, so, as a result he considers our case historic !
I have raised a complaint with the FSB, and I will apprise my daughter when she returns from her business trip tomorrow. Somehow, I doubt if she will be renewing her FSB subscription. Those of you deprived of a vote in Largs BID should take this up with the FSB if you are members.
The fight goes on.
