| I'd be very careful with the 'data' Tom. If you ever read your link in full, you should acknowledge that: 1. Several businesses closed. New ones 'nearly replaced those closed. 2. 40% of businesses reported a decline in trade, only 19% reported improvement. 3. Several business owners were interviewed, and largely complain about difficulties. 4. Barnes is not dependent on the bridge itself. In fact the high street is located much closed to Putney than Hammersmith. 5. There's been a 'shop local' campaign going. 6. There are no absolute numbers in the 'data'. You should know that %s can be manipulated or misread or both. |
