Remember when we said council never approached us or any other business re LTN? Remember when they started widening pavements because they wanted to keep LTN long before trial period was up? Everyone thought council are thinking of locals and environment😂
@Leesufc37@faizaaaaaaal@prime_tracker So by the time we get the stock it cost us more than double of what they charge in Asda or Sainsbury’s. Hence why we have to sell it at those prices!
Moral of story…. Do your research before opening your mouth! Thank you.
@Leesufc37@faizaaaaaaal@prime_tracker Now US suppliers knows that there is a huge demand for this product in UK so they increase their prices. We have no choice but simply pay what they ask for as we have huge demand from customers. We have to pay import duty and VAT to import these items, shipping cost & much more!
@metecoban92@rowdysharman Card payment is up due to covid! Not because of your stupid LTN! People started going cashless since covid. Besides…. How can stopping people from coming to your street will make increase in sales? So dumb!
@AngelaMagny@willnorm Council have placed these LTN’s without consulting with local businesses, not one business was approached and they started widening pavements before “trial period” was up coz that’s what they wanted from beginning! Shame. Coz it’s the local business who are paying the price!
Can you provide evidence on increase in footfall and and increase spending in local? We are a local business by the way located right by your so called Bus Gate!
@_HollywoodCandy@willnorm Daughter does gymnastics by Howard Street. Used to drive up Church St every Saturday, have lunch & shop while waited. Since bus gate spend twice as long on side streets & instead go to Morrisons. Just an average family of 4 who used to visit area every week & now don’t
@AngelaMagny If you’re coming for quick shop you can park on Marton Road (please come from Stoke Newington High St end) it’s the first left right after you drive past our store. Thank you.
I’ve also instructed officers to monitor all activity on vandalism including working with the @metpoliceuk.
If you are caught damaging our property, you will face criminal charges.

Anyone want to have chat about how LTN has affected local businesses i am happy to talk, unlike so called politicians i can actually explain how it HAS affected business!
Mete came to speak to us, within 2 mins of him walking in, he took his phone out and said his sister is calling and walked right out! He said he will come around again and never did!

Problem with Church Street Bus Gate is that Council are saying they consulted with 50 local businesses yet no one approached us or at least 10-15 businesses i have spoken to, so who did they consulted with? And who are those 50 businesses? @metecoban92@mayorofhackney

@SLH68141003 @StokeyUpdates I don’t expect locals to shop in our store everyday, I’m fine with that, LTN has killed passing trade and potential new customers, i cycle myself and happy to see changes to help environment but not at the expense of local businesses!
