Visitor information improved for Bury St Edmunds town centre
Our Bury St Edmunds BID has replaced and updated maps at the seven large map display stands at visitor entry points to the town

Visitors to Bury St Edmunds town centre will be able to find their way around the town more easily thanks to improvements being spearheaded by the town’s Business Improvement District (BID).
Our Bury St Edmunds BID has replaced and updated maps at the seven large map display stands at visitor entry points to the town. These include the bus and railway stations, Ram Meadow and Arc-Cattlemarket car parks and St Johns Street, Cornhill and Angel Hill. They’ll display a larger version of the visitor map in the Bury St Edmunds and Beyond Visitor Attraction guides. The map display stands will also be refurbished.
Chief Executive of Our Bury St Edmunds BID, Mark Cordell, said: “We were able to apply for funding for this work as the prominent map display stands were looking very shabby and the maps themselves were out of date. Although many people will use smart phone apps to get around the town, there is still a place for printed information and our aim is to provide information about the town centre in many guises to suit the needs of the vast majority of people who visit the town.”
The BID was granted funding for this project from West Suffolk Council’s Town Centre Fund – part of the Government’s UK Shared Prosperity Fund – with the aim of increasing footfall and visitor numbers. Our Bury St Edmunds BID also provides more than 30,000 free maps annually, which are distributed through the town’s tourist information points and in a number of BID member businesses.
Mr Cordell added: “I am very grateful to our partners in this project – Bury St Edmunds-based Coastline Graphics produced the maps and fitted them into the display boards and Rowlinson Commercial and Industrial Services from Haverhill will undertake the restoration of the boards.”
Plans are also at an early stage for digital signage in a couple of town centre car parks later this year. These will provide up to date information and further enhance the customer and visitor experience of Bury St Edmunds town centre.
