There are shops closing all the time, everywhere. Not just small supermarkets like the Tesco on Northfield Avenue. Plenty of empty units thet can’t be filled now. Rents and rates are too crippling for many, while the dominance of online deliveries makes profit margins wafer thin for small businesses. Earmarked for closure are very useful places like Wickes and B&Q, both with steady streams of customers every day. The limit of the council imagination is a new coffee shop and some sort of bike repair place. Little wonder retail in Ealing struggles. |
