The Bardwatch system helps to maintain very low levels of crime & disorder in Stratford-upon-Avon and allows us to extend a very safe, relaxing welcome to our visitors.

The system is now jointly administered by Stratford Upon Avon BID and Warwickshire Retail Crime Initiative (WRCI).  The system provides hand-held radio communication between both daytime and evening economy businesses, as well as intelligence and exclusion schemes via WRCI. 

Bardwatch is a county wide partnership approach to prevent and reduce crime and anti-social behaviour in retail and licensed business premises in Warwickshire and it is provided free of charge to BID levy payers.

We encourages as many Town Centre businesses to become part of Bardwatch as possible, with radios available to buy or rent at very reasonable rates.
