The election for the new English Riviera BID (ERBID) Board of Directors is now underway, with ERBID Company Members invited to vote for the individuals who will represent them and help deliver the ERBID3 Business Plan over the next five years.

As the ERBID enters its third five-year term (ERBID3) on 1 January 2027, the current Board will stand down on 31 December 2026, and a newly elected Board will take office for the period 2027-2031.
