BUSINESS NEWS 

Over 1.5 million people passed through Ealing Broadway Shopping Centre last year, making it one of the highest footfall destinations in the Borough over the festive season. Make It Ealing is hiring a cabin at the Christmas Market to enable businesses to showcase their products for one or two days in this commercially attractive environment. As well as offering free use of the cabin, the BID office will hand out your business promotional flyers, our Festive Feeling Guide and updated Food and Drink Guide.

We will be hosting a Letter to Santa table and some fun selfie photo boards, as well as a Decorate a Christmas Bauble table for charitable donations. We do have limitations as the cabin is not big enough to serve hot food, but we can still hand out a flyer directing people to your businesses for a tempting offer!

Make It Ealing contacted Highway services about the on-going flooding issue (water pooling) on Uxbridge Road and New Broadway. An investigation found the problem was due to a blockage in the Thames Water's, surface water sewer, not blocked roadside gullies. The excessive rainfall has exacerbated the problem and is causing real issues for pedestrians who are unable to cross the road at some points as the water is over four inches deep. For updates contact HighwayServices

CALLING ALL LANDLORDS
 

The Redeemer Church is looking for a midweek hub – a multi-use space with 24/7 access, approximately 1,200sq ft in size that will hold 80+ people. Ideally, they would like a venue for a minimum of three to five years and to extend if available. At the moment they are holding their Sunday services at the University of West London, so would like to be as close to the Uxbridge Road as possible, but will consider all options in the central Ealing area. Please contact Pete Cornford pete@redeemerlondon.org and find out more about their work

 

The countdown has started for the issue of the new polymer £20 note in early 2020. Police anticipate there will be more than usual old style counterfeit £20 notes in circulation over Christmas. Please be vigilant and check all your cash transactions. An easy check is a watermark, the Queen’s portrait and a bright £20, but find more checkpoints on the Bank of England website.
