This Community Improvements Districts guidance helps communities imagine new possibilities for high streets, and gives readers the tools they need to make those possibilities a reality.

This guidance is designed to help community leaders navigate the complexities of starting a Community Improvement District (CID), no matter what form it takes. Communities should be at the heart of regenerating their high streets, and this guidance will help make that a reality.

Readers will have a clear understanding of what a CID is and how it can help the community take the lead in regenerating town centres. It also gives practical advice on starting a CID, including how to engage different stakeholders, create a vision for the town centre, and sustain a CID in the long-term.
