| Just had a flyer through the door advertising 'Isleworth Riverside Artisan Market' also says they are fund raising for Isleworth Voluntary Care Network and Friends of Cathja. These markets which will just happen to take place in Church St. are planned right up until Christmas under the banner of 'Inspiring Isleworth'. Call me cynical - and I am - what a bare-faced attempt to justify the permanent closure of Church St. - and gentrify Church St. - how convenient. I can just imagine how that conversation went - let's hold some markets on lovely sunny, summer days and when people are full of Christmas cheer and then when the locals are re-consulted they'll all be on side to keep our little enclave free of the common mob. I actually think it is crass and shouldn't be allowed to take place whilst this is only a 'temporary closure', hiding behind raising money for worthy local charities is beneath contempt. |
