| Dear Forum Members. The recent changes to traffic and parking through Turnham Green Terrace, Devonshire Road and Fishers Lane are severely impacting local businesses like mine, and will, I fear negatively impact the business prospects and local employment of local independent businesses such as mine in the medium / long term unless improved / changed/ removed asap. Our footfall last week was down by about 50%. I had 5 client appointments cancelled due to lack of parking and access. The road is dead to both traffic AND shoppers. A win for the anti traffic lobby, a lose for the pro, local economy lobby. The global pandemic shouldn't be used to further un-democratic, un-consulted single issue politics that put small independent businesses like mine at risk for the benefit of a social experiment. The heart of your town is at risk. What do you love about Chiswick most? is it the lack of traffic or the variety, bustle, service choice and personalities in your local traders. We need your support now more than ever - please don't let us down. I urge you to Shop Local, I also urge you to fight for your local shops. regards Simon Johnson however |
