Planters
In April 2019, we conducted refreshing of all planters in the Adopt-a-Planter scheme, adding new plants and providing some general maintenance, assessing and revisiting some of our plant list with more durable plants tailored to locations in Stratford Town.
Adopt a Planter scheme was rolled out in April 2018 when the first 7 businesses received a combination of evergreen, grasses and perennial plants, along with a gardening kit to water and maintain their planters.
The next session will be taking place in April 2020, lookout for more information on our website and newsletters.
Colourful crossings
The high impact pedestrian colourful crossings was a joint initiative between Stratford Original BID and Newham Council. There are four crossings across Stratford Town Center which can be found by Meridian Square, Theatre Square, on the Broadway and the Grove by the Library.
Free Cycle Events
Throughout summer 2019 we successfully organised and conducted three cycling events in Stratford Town Centre. The main idea was to encourage Stratford to get on two wheels and celebrate the new infrastructure – the new cycling lanes.
The event offered bikes’ repair and register, cycle route advice and safety tips. Additionally, participants could pedal to blend a tasty smoothie thanks to invited Smoothie Bikes. The pedal-powered passenger and cargo service Pedal Me gave visitors amazing rides across the town centre.
The events were organised in partnership with Newham Cyclists, LB Newham and Stratford & West Ham Community Neighbourhood.
