Ambassadors

Since 2016 Stratford has had a team of ambassadors. They are out on the streets, engaging with businesses, local partners, working with key stakeholders such as the council, police and local enforcement teams, helping to make Stratford a safer place. They monitor and report everything from fly tipping to anti-social behaviour to ensure Stratford is a safer place for all.
