The business rates are strangling small independent businesses as well as high rents due to the perfumeries and clothes shops driving up the rent, but it looks like this will not help who needs it. Andrew Neil pointed this out, it is designed to help the rich boroughs.<br /><br />Earls Court Road IS becoming a mega brand, "a New District" as the hoarding claims outside Exhibition Centre. The rest of the area is becoming a ghost town in a sea of estate agents. Do not see how Cllr Spalding & Aouane can stay on after this debacle, Conservatives have let down their Tory voters who live in the area. It takes a Lib Dem councillor to represent them Cllr Wade.<br /><br />Time to ask the locals Minister Greg Clark to keep an eye on the borough!<br /><br />You can see why people vandalise a cereal store in East London, they should not be the target but the developers and council conspirators should be in their sights. It will not be long before we all storm the barricade at Horton Street and the Dame can break out her forage cap and swagger stick. We only ask that the Dame does not expose herself like Liberty in Delcroix's painting.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1690720220183337557.post-18394486132892092462015-10-06T10:55:00.850+01:002015-10-06T10:55:00.850+01:00Central Government needs to move with caution.

Second raters and mostly with ideas above their station.<br /><br />A little power drives them mad and in a monopoly like K&C there is no check from the ballot box. So batten down the hatches.

Still, a future cloned new Earls Ct high street crammed with global mega-brands that contrive not to pay taxes in the UK is a shrewd trade-off that will benefit all.

And prides itself even more on its social care expertise. In a bold leap of stupidity the puffers dreamed up Chelsea Care to provide enhanced levels of care to residents.
