Topic: Re:Help save 30-52 Goldhawk Road from demolition Message: We trader in shepherds bush market at shop number 41 ( directly behind the laundry and peabody site.) We would be the first to be affected by this development and are very worried. Ours is a family run business and we have been here for over 30 years. The answers we get from the council are NOT good enough, they are vague and evasive. We are being pushed aside. It seems they are interested in simply making the area into yet another money spinning commercial attraction. Our livelyhood totally depends on this, and while we agree that the market needs security, parking, atm machines, toilets and maybe a roof, we certainly DO NOT NEED offices, apartments, flats and more expensive shops. Our trade has not been affected by westfields, that place attracts customers from out other areas but in which way has it benefited our area? The jobs created their have not gone to local residents. Also lime grove would be totally ruined, the shops on goldhawk road ( which create a great quirky pre war feel ) would be demolished). The newsletters being handed out are misleading, claiming 70% of trader are in favour of redeveloping. THIS IS NOT TRUE.EVERY SINGLE TRADER FROM THE START OF THE MARKET ON GOLDHWAK ROAD DOWN TO THE TOILETS ( 20 shops) ARE TOTALLY AGAINST THE IDEA. The only traders supporting the idea are those who will remain totally unaffected ( incl the selfish SBMTA ). It would be great to liase with anyone interested, please email us on apsm@live.co.uk thank you |
