Stratford Original

Stratford Original Stratford Original is the Business Improvement District for Stratford Town Centre. The BID started in 2015 and April 2020 marked the end of its first term.

Stratford Original is the business led and funded Business Improvement District (BID) working to make Stratford a better place for business, to work, live and play. In October 2020 we successfully achieved our renewal ballot which means we will be moving Stratford forward for another five years until 2025. In the second term the BID has six main priorities:
Safety First, Shaping Change, One Busin

ess Voice, Delivering Value, Placemaking, Communication and events. Our continuous support for businesses during the Covid-19 pandemic is also our priority of 2020-2021. For anyone who would like to learn more about what we do visit our website or contact us directly. If you are a business within the BID area you can get directly involved by joining on of the Stratford Original Steering Groups to help drive change.
