This Saturday is Small Business Saturday. Labour councillors in Battle value the small businesses that line the Oxford Road. In fact I use quite a few of them!
I know there was concern that the new Tesco would take business away from traders but recent press articles by traders have shown this not to have been the case. The Oxford Road is a thriving area with very few empty shops. I am pleased to see that a couple of units that have been empty for a while are being refurbished.
Because of all this I decided it would be a nice to hold a street surgery with a difference and speak to the small business owners on the Oxford Road and see what we can do to help them. We will be dropping our leaflets in to them and if they would like us to call by, they just need to pop our leaflet in their window.
If you are a small business owner in Oxford Road and we don't get the chance to speak to you, please feel free to drop us a line at any time.

Welcome to my blog. I am using it to keep you updated on my work as a councillor for Battle ward, lead councillor for Culture, Sport and Consumer Services and Chair of the Art and Heritage forum and Cultural Education Partnership. I cover the issues affecting Battle ward and Reading residents. There may also be the occasional random post about things I am interested in.
