Devonshire Road in Chiswick was closed to traffic and a lawn laid down yesterday (Saturday). The Devonshirte Road fair was organised to celebrate and promote the independent businesses that this road, and much of Chiswick, is renowned for. Despite appearance, many independent shops in Chiswick are struggling against rising rents, business rates and lower customer spend, so special events are a really good way to increase trade. Mike Moran from Top Hat Dry Cleaners made these points to Chukka Umuna (Shadow Trade Secretary) when we met him in Chiswick a few months ago.
I got there in the morning and do hope they had a successful day . . .
