Following a very successful trial, starting in December and extended via a UK Shared Prosperity Fund grant, we are thrilled to announce the Street Stewards are here to stay.
The team will continue to be funded and managed by the Bishop’s Stortford Business Improvement District (BID).
Street Stewarding services have been prioritised and funds ring-fenced by the BID who deem them, “…key to building confidence and safety amongst businesses and the public, deterring crime and anti-social behaviour and assisting people across the town centre, both during the day and at night”.
Importantly, the stewards are on the town link radio system, which enables real-time information sharing with the police, town centre CCTV control room and businesses.
Look out for our lovely team stewards when you’re out and about. As always, they’re here to help.
