Marketing Intelligence: Built for Local Businesses in Upper Easton
Upper Easton is one of Bristol's local areas, within postcode district BS5, bordering Clay Bottom, Crew's Hole and Clay Hill. Gloucester Road is the longest continuous stretch of independent shops in Europe, 1.7 miles that has stayed largely free of chains thanks to the middle-class housing built along it, whose residents kept preferring local shops. A few streets over, Stokes Croft's post-war bomb damage left cheap, long-empty buildings that let small independent businesses and street art take root instead of national chains — Banksy's 'Mild Mild West' has looked out over the area since 1999.
Bristol's independent businesses now sit inside a newly unified Business Improvement District: in 2022, a ballot backed by 75% of voting businesses merged the old Broadmead, Redcliffe & Temple and Bristol City Centre BIDs into one partnership covering more than 1,000 businesses and backed by an £18 million, five-year investment plan. According to the March 2026 IDBR snapshot, there were 18,295 VAT and/or PAYE registered businesses in the area.
The employment rate in Bristol, City of was 76.1% in 2023 (ONS). Numbers like that are part of the backdrop marketing intelligence is built to work within.
