Bargates Community

03/12/2025

With recent traffic issues hospitality and retailers in Christchurch & Bargates have struggled. Let's get out and support our local businesses, let your friends know that the roads are open and that Free Parking has been negotiated and paid for by various businesses in the local area.

Thank you to PP Printing, Aureos and Christchurch & District Chamber for making this happen! :)

The Chamber, together with Aureos who project managed the roadworks in the summer, and PP Printing have funded free car parking in Christchurch for the next two Saturdays! This is in recognition of everything that the Christchurch businesses and shoppers went through with the recent essential closures of the bypass. So get your Christmas lists written and come to Christchurch to do your shopping! Christchurch BID Christchurch Town Council BCP Council

Yesterday local businesses, residents and other stakeholders came together for our second Bargates Clean Up Day.

Taking the initiative to clean up the parade, sweeping, weeding, washing and strimming, our team of around fifteen volunteers spent Sunday afternoon making Bargates better for all.

Thanks to everyone who assisted on the day including but not limited to Christchurch & District Chamber of Trade & Commerce, Christchurch BID, Christchurch Baptist Church and the Bargates Community.

Finally, a special mention to Amy from Aureos who came all the way from Watford to help out. Sincere thanks for your help on the day.

Great to see the Bargates Community pulling together again, this time the tidy up had a different purpose with vandals having up-ended the planters we planted up just a few weeks ago.

Well done to everyone who helped us with our Big Bargates Clean Up on 18th May.

Now we've got momentum, watch out for our next clean up!!

The event saw volunteers of all ages take part in a day of litter picking and tidying throughout the town.
