| Results of first data collection from shops on the Castelnau Parade, just south of Hammersmithbridge. - 43% reported no change to average income since closure, 22% say business now doing better, 35% say business straggling (most of them rely on car deliveries to h&f) https://twitter.com/raphaelzy3/status/1117508131079229441 https://www.newsshopper.co.uk/news/6502084.hammersmith-bridge-to-re-open/ "TV celebrity and ex-Tory MP Gyles Brandreth, who lives in Barnes, was the 5,000th person to sign a petition to keep the crossing closed, organised by pressure group the Hammersmith Bridge Campaign. He said: "The longer the bridge stays closed to cars and lorries the more people realise that traffic constraint works. "Local public transport has improved dramatically and more people are walking and cycling - the bridge is a shining example of the kind of environment we should have all over London."" Residents want the bridge to stay closed. Businesses want to the bridge to remain closed. This is actual evidence, not made-up claims. |
