This year marks 20 years of UK Business Improvement Districts (BIDs), with over £1 billion invested in local services and events for better towns and cities. WeAreWaterloo is proud to be part of this milestone alongside remarkable BIDs across the country.
Since our establishment in 2006, WeAreWaterloo has transformed the landscape of Waterloo. From managing the bustling Lower Marsh Market to providing crucial grant funding to local businesses, we’ve made a real impact on the community.
Following our successful 2021 ballot, we’ve pursued our pledges outlined in our Five Year Plan, focusing on three core themes:
We Connect & Represent local businesses by providing frequent opportunities to share knowledge and expertise, as well as bridging ties with local government, community groups and lots more to ensure that any decision-making results in the best possible environment for businesses to flourish.

We Enhance the Environment and the area by ensuring it is clean, green, safe, well-maintained and somewhere to be proud of, improving the visitor experience while attracting new businesses and investment.
