That's a good point Andy. A balance is needed and I think Chiswick gets closer to it than either Hammersmith with its multiplicity of chains or Brentford and Shepherd's Bush with very few. Retailing is very tough now but hopefully we've seen an end to predatory business practices like those at Starbucks where they open up multiple stores in an area hoping to drive independents out of business and then close them when they have succeeded. |
