Destination Cranleigh is a Business Improvement District (BID) funded by local retail and leisure businesses, who contribute through a levy based on their rateable value. This investment is exclusively allocated to projects and initiatives within the BID area, as determined by a collectively agreed-upon business plan. In addition to this, the BID offers substantial support to its members.

Our mission is to create a dynamic platform that nurtures local business growth while transforming Cranleigh into an attractive destination for residents and visitors.

The heart of our community is the bustling High Street, home to various cafes, restaurants, fashion boutiques, gift shops, hair and beauty salons, and unique local businesses. Cranleigh also boasts excellent local amenities, including an Arts Centre, Leisure Centre, Knowle Park, and the Downs Link. With access to stunning scenery perfect for walking and cycling, Cranleigh truly has something for everyone.

Dorking Town Partnership, the BID (Business Improvement District), was elected into place in 2017 and underwent a successful reballot in 2022, and since then we’ve been busy working on improving the management of the town centre, to boost its potential and safeguard its future.

We are a group of positive local businesses who strive to deliver impactful and innovative projects, that address your business priorities, and deliver the best value for money from the BID levy that you entrust to us.

Our wide-ranging projects include creating a new strong brand for Dorking, hosting events to promote Dorking, collaborating with local organisations to improve the look of the town centre, and installing  footfall counters that help us understand how many people visit Dorking and their habits when they visit.

A BID (Business Improvement District) is a designated zone (BID Area) in which businesses (BID Levy Payers) benefit from a wide range of additional services over and above those funded through the standard commercial rates and council services.

The business led and business funded organisation will raise £1.5 million to invest in Staines-upon-Thames town centre over the five year term, raised from a levy of 1.5% of the rateable value of eligible business premises.

As well as our 300 levy payers, Visit Staines BID also works with a number of businesses outside of the town centre who want to support our initiatives and get involved. These are known as voluntary levy payers. For more information about becoming a voluntary levy payer, please get in touch.

Visit Staines is governed by a board that meets monthly. If your business would like to join as a board member please get in touch with us on info@visitstaines.co.uk.
