Stratford Original BID has been operating since April 2015 following successful ballots. As you may know, UK BIDs Legislation sets a 5-year term for each BID and this is why in Autumn 2024, we will have a renewal ballot to secure a third term. The voting period will be 5th November 2024 to 5th December 2024. Voting will be done by post with following the below timeline. More information will be shared with you closer to the time. A YES vote would secure another five years to deliver our mission to support the businesses of Stratford. Stratford is the place where commerce meets culture, community and connectivity.
A place in constant evolution shaped by the past and open to the future. Stratford is the place we are passionate about and committed to helping develop and prosper.
Following consultation with businesses, we will be expanding the existing BID area to include Burford Road and Cam Road if the ballot is successful. The results of the consultation form the basis of the new business plan ‘Stratford is Now’ which will be revealed on Wednesday 23rd October 2024 at The Moxy from 5.30pm.
The event will include an introduction to our new brand Rooted in Stratford by design studio Anatomy; Stratford is Now presentation from Gianluca Rizzo, BID Manager, sharing our vision for the next five years; as well as an overview of the renewal ballot process.
We would love to see you at the launch event, this is an opportunity to see our proposal for the next five years, to ask the team questions, hear more about the renewal ballot and meet other local businesses.
All Stratford Original members can register their attendance now online here.
