On my way home from an entertaining end of the year meeting of the Hawthorn Traders Association where many issues relating to the Hawthorn Road were discussed I noticed again how festive the Christmas lights are along the Hawthorn Road. some of the shops have also made a big effort with their shop fronts to make them look more attractive to customers at this time of year.
Traders and Residents are working together well to try and put the Hawthorn Road shopping area on the map. However there does need to be more variety of shops and the recent change in policy making it more difficult to gain planning permission to have a Take Aways where there is already a glut of them in a shopping area is a good move.
There are also a number of other issues that continue to need to be resolved in the Hawthorn Road area such as the need for tree pruning better pavements and road safety. Along with other Councillors who attended I will do what I can to help try and resolve some of these issues.
