Council asking what small business thinks

LBWF apparently wants to know what businesses think ... http://socsi.in/BoCSurvey_zcvTW

However they have completely ignored the pleas and petitions of numerous small businesses against the removal of car parks, the installation of CPZs and the painting of double yellow lines all of which reduce the number of their customers. After trying to park and use their local shops as we are encouraged to do, many potential customers head off to the large chain stores with free car parking.

Here are just a few excellent and irreplaceable shops that have closed due to Waltham Forest policies. Just try going into one of the large DIY stores and asking what type of hinge you need; Colvins knew. Just try finding all the useful gadgets Eastman's used to stock at affordable prices in a chain store. See if you can find the range of fish that Davies had in your local supermarket. Who can replace the electrical expertise you found at Salvage? Sure you can all point to many more examples.
