Naturally, within weeks the first ice-cream shop closed. Now the second shop seems to have given up.<br /><br />At a recent public meeting, Cllr Lightfoot shouted a local resident for complaining about the loss of local amenity shops. According to the Councillor, RBKC cannot afford to subsidise business.
