Welcome
A warm welcome our new e-bulletin which features key updates on the developments and opportunities that are taking place around Chelmsford.
Chelmsford continues to be a hive of activity with public realm works in the High Street almost complete, key works at Chelmer Waterside well underway and ground works for the new station within the Chelmsford Garden Community are soon to commence. Towards the latter end of 2022, businesses in the city centre voted in favour of a further five year term for One Chelmsford, the city’s Business Improvement District (BID). The BID will now continue its work to promote and enhance the offer to residents, businesses and visitors.
We hope you find the information within this e-bulletin useful. To find out more about the opportunities in Chelmsford and why the City is a great place to do business visit the Chelmsford for You website. If you have news to share about investments and developments affecting Chelmsford or if there are works that you would like to hear more about, do get in touch with the Council's Economic Development Team.
