Witham Industrial Watch Ltd Supporting 350+ businesses on Witham's industrial estates | Managing commitments to its BID status

HISTORY:
In 2004 a local group of business people formed an effective network to alert each other to suspicious activity and incidents in the area. In 2009 the group formed a company, Witham Industrial Watch Ltd, and were successful in achieving Business Improvement District (BID) status for Witham’s industrial estates from 2009 to 2014. In 2014 businesses on the estates voted in favour of another five year BID term, from 2014-2019, operated by Witham Industrial Watch. BID 2014-2019 saw the continuation of the great improvements already in place, plus some new, exciting projects such as the installation of 8 defibrillators and training for 100+ people to use them. In 2019 once again businesses on the estates voted overwhelmingly in favour of another five year BID term, from 2019-2024. During this BID period CCTV and ANPR cameras will be replaced as necessary with newer technology and additional cameras added; signage on the estates will be reviewed and efforts will continue with regards to traffic flow and parking frustrations on the estates. TODAY:
2024 saw yet another successful result for the BID Ballot, with a resounding YES for another 5-year term for Witham Industrial Watch (WIW). The new mandate will ensure the work of WIW continues through to the next BID Ballot in 2029, so we can build on our previous achievements. Based within the Eastways Industrial Estate, Witham Industrial Watch Ltd employs a full-time BID Manager and Office Administrator. It installs cameras (ANPR & CCTV) and defibrillators, erects signage on the estates, ensures the salting/gritting of estate roads to allow businesses to continue to operate during sub-zero winter weather, oversees the estate environments, liaises closely with Essex Police and makes representations to local councils to try to improve related issues on the estates.

An incredible achievement for one of the 350+ BID businesses we serve across Witham's industrial estates.

🌺 REMEMBRANCE SUNDAY 2026 – WITHAM 🌺

Royal British Legion – Witham Branch, in collaboration with Witham Town Council

At the going down of the sun and in the morning, we will remember them.

On Sunday 8th November 2026, our community will come together to honour and remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice, those who returned from conflict forever changed, and all who have served and continue to serve our country.

Organised in collaboration between Royal British Legion – Witham Branch and Witham Town Council, this important annual occasion brings our town together in remembrance, reflection and gratitude.

❤️ We warmly invite the whole community to join us.

📅 Sunday 8th November 2026

🌺 Parade Arrangements

🕝 2:20pm – Parade participants muster in The Avenue.

🕝 2:40pm – The parade moves off towards the top of Collingwood Road, before proceeding down to Newland Street.

🌺 Service of Remembrance

🕒 3:00pm – The Service of Remembrance begins at the Memorial Gardens, Newland Street, Witham.

🚗 Important Road Closure Information

Rolling road closures will be in place from the time the parade musters until the conclusion of the service. We kindly ask motorists to plan their journeys accordingly and thank everyone for their patience and understanding.

❤️ Everyone is welcome.

Remembrance is something that belongs to us all, regardless of age or background.

We especially encourage families and younger generations to attend, helping to ensure that the courage, sacrifice and stories of those who served are never forgotten.

For some, this day is deeply personal. It is a time to remember a loved one, a friend, a colleague or a comrade who never returned home.

For others, it is an opportunity to simply stand in silence and say thank you.

Whatever your reason for attending, your presence is valued.

Our sincere thanks to Witham Town Council for their continued collaboration and support in ensuring our town can come together to mark this important occasion with the dignity and respect it deserves.

🌺 We remember those who never came home.

🌺 We honour those who served and sacrificed.

🌺 We stand alongside our veterans, serving personnel and Armed Forces families.

Service Not Self.

We Will Remember Them.

🌺 Lest We Forget. 🌺

Supporting this wonderful idea, we’re helping to bring Christmas cheer to people and families across our town by coordinating the creation of festive hampers for local causes.
If putting one together feels like a big task, why not team up with family, friends or neighbours? And don’t worry if you can’t add an item every day — we’re grateful for any complete hamper you’re able to create.
Please note that we’re unable to accept individual items at the Town Hall Information Centre.
