Unveiled: Stratford-on-Sea plans to bring back tourists
| Updated: 14:29, 01 April 2021
AMBITIOUS plans to attract tourists to Stratford can be revealed by the
Herald today.
On the back of calls to bring visitors back to the area after the pandemic, plus the return of the big wheel to the Rec, a new company has been set up to bring a touch of the tourist attraction to Stratford.
A spokesman for the company, Stratford On Sea, said: There s precious little in the area at the moment to encourage people to visit, and the success of the big wheel has proved that there s a real market for good old-fashioned entertainment, so we ve got a stack of ideas we d like to put into action.

âWe love you normally but please go awayâ, was tourist town Stratfordâs message to the outside world after a busy sunny weekend.
For weeks worried locals have reported their alarm over the seeming escalation of visitors to the area. Many have voiced their frustration to the Herald, saying that out-of-town day-trippers are descending on the town unchecked, flouting Covid rules and undermining their own efforts to follow guidelines.
