Policy & Campaigns

Bira is at the forefront of championing the cause of independent traders and shopkeepers across Britain.

With a dedicated focus on revitalising and preserving the high street, our advocacy takes our collective voice to the halls of Parliament and into discussions with key stakeholders. Our campaigns cover a wide spectrum of issues crucial to the success of independent traders including:

  1. Combatting the rising tide of retail crime
  2. Advocating for changes in legislation that promote fairness and flexibility
  3. Fighting for fairer business rates
  4. Overall reducing the regulatory burden

Through our efforts, we strive to ensure that the heartbeat of our communities, the high street, continues to thrive and serve as a vibrant hub for local businesses. Read more about Bira's Policy and Campaigns on the link below:
