Will we ever see the day when the London Road is lined with vibrant and interesting shops that are filled with local shoppers - keen to support local business? Perhaps a sparkling new Perry Vale Parade?
Or, are we forever going to basque in bookies and fried-chicken takeaways hopelessly sitting side-by-side with brown boarded shop fronts?
I really hope that things will in time change and that new businesses will find a market here in FH. We, the local people, really need to support any new venture that does "move in".
I made a pledge this year to do all of my Christmas shopping in Forest Hill (this could be interesting!).
Anyway...my question to you all - what is your vision for Forest Hill in say 2010 (the year the ELL opens). Will it really have changed that much?
