So you want to know how to safeguard the distinctive appeal of Northcote and Webbs Roads? Here's what to do:
Shop local. We know you want to safeguard the lovely individual shops on Northcote Road and prevent it turning into a clone high street, so vote with your feet and your money. There's a wide variety of things to buy from flowers to fish, music to market stalls, honey to hairdressers - not to mention plenty of cafes, restaurants and bars along the way. If you don't use it you will almost certainly lose it.
Spread the word among your neighbours and friends. If they want to be kept informed of news and progress, ask them to get in touch via this website. Alternatively, they can register their details by sending an email to us at northcoteroadaction@yahoo.co.uk
Campaign for a new post office. Email Julia Marwood, national consultation manager for the Post Office. Her email address is: consultation@royalmail.com And copy Postwatch, the independent watchdog for postal services in the UK. The email address is: info@postwatch.co.uk
Respond to local planning applications. If you are on our mailing list we will alert you to planning applications designed to squeeze out the small businesses on the street or that we feel will harm the characteristic qualities of Northcote Road.
