Want to influence the future of our high street?
Join one of our Dorking BID Committees and help us make a difference for our businesses, our community and for each other. We have created four committees, led by businesses and composed of fellow BID businesses, residents, and community organisations. When we collaborate and work together, we create a better and brighter future for Dorking.
Marketing and PR
We are actively working on our events, digital, PR and marketing efforts to drive footfall to our high street. This committee touches on all of these activities.
Sustainability and Safety
This committee will focus on town beautification, policing and sustainability plans. Join this team to help us look forward and position Dorking as a safe, clean and sustainable heart of the Surrey Hills.
Tourism
This committee informs our visitor, retail and night time economy.
Placemaking
This committee looks after infrastructure, traffic, parking, and banking issues. We are actively working on ‘Future Dorking’ with our community partners to address parking, traffic management and to future proof Dorking.
