BID Achievements

Since our first successful BID ballot in 2017 the BID has been working to represent, advocate and further the interests of the SWBA business community, particularly in relation to transport issues, Council services, accessibility and connectivity. Also we have tried to ensure SWBA’s environment is visibly improved, better maintained, cleaner, safer and more attractive for everyone working or visiting our estate. Below are some of the projects that we have worked on the course of BID terms.

Defibrillator - September 2023.

We have purchased and installed a defibrillator for use on the estate. It is located behind the security hut. The code to access it is located inside the security hut. It is also registered on the HeartSafe AED Locator website.

CCTV

We have had 7 digital CCTV cameras installed at various points around the estate.  These have been connected to 100mbps fibre circuit that links them directly to the Merton Council CCTV Control Room who can access them 24/7.  These cameras are remote controlled and can therefore be moved to track situations on the estate.

Signage for Wayfinding

We successfully applied for a grant of £135,000 from Merton Council which was used to remove old worn and guerilla signage and replaced with uniform wayfinding signage to aid pedestrians and drivers navigate easily around the estate.

Memorial Garden

Aviva kindly allowed us to develop a part of their land behind the security hut on Jubilee Way in order for us to plant a garden in memory of our late chairman John Simpson, who was the driving force behind our BID.  We have also erected several benches to allow all of our members and their staff to enjoy some tranquility in the middle of our estate whenever they get a chance to leave their workspace.

Clean and Tidy

We continue to maintain our estate in conjunction with Merton Council and through the reporting of issues on the www.fixmystreet.com website.  If you find any issues with street furniture, drainage or fly tipping, you can report all of these on the website.
