Support our Small Shops and Stall Holders

I have lived in South Bermondsey for 11 years and in the area for over 22 years, and since being in the area The Blue, which was once a great shopping area, I have seen it go down hill. The small shops and stall owners, as well as the residents, have been suffocated by the obvious lack of care shown to businesses and the people they serve. Just because the Liberal Democrats feel they will always win South Bermondsey in an election doesn’t mean they should neglect it as the Labour party did - but they have!

A few months before Christmas the council, yet again, made promises to make changes, which are no more than a coat of paint when more radical steps must be taken; this simply isn't good enough. I would also question the timing as there is an election coming up.

There is such a thing as people power and I'd like to gather support from local businesses and local residents to put the council under pressure to make meaningful changes and not just meaningless gestures. Please support the campaign which, if successful, will benefit residents and businesses alike.
