We are standing strong with the other shopkeepers. We do not want to be located anywhere else other than Shepherd's Bush. The reality is that the Council solicited these developers. We have never been part of the market and Orion would only deal with the Council on the market if they would demolish 30-52 Goldhawk Road. The press office from the Council are also saying that shopkeepers are in talks with Orion. Not true.Audrey Boughtonhttp://www.cookespieandmash.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131658095945044290.post-29338476976926666292011-02-22T21:36:46.515+00:002011-02-22T21:36:46.515+00:00I agree with Coll, it just needs renovation. This ...I agree with Coll, it just needs renovation. This whole business that the buildings lack maintenance only came about, because this council felt it looked out of character, so as to pursue a development. What everyone fails to understand, is that for decades, it hasn't bothered anyone , but when a council makes an issue, it suddenly gets noticed. NEVER JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER, BUT PERHAPS LETS LOOK AT THE REAL MOTIVE OF WHAT THE COUNCIL, REALLY, REALLY, WANTS......MORE TAXES!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131658095945044290.post-68156856227475373242011-02-22T11:19:22.895+00:002011-02-22T11:19:22.895+00:00Three thumbs up to redeveloping Shepherds Bush Mar...Three thumbs up to redeveloping Shepherds Bush Market.

Can they explain their lack of maintenance for the last few decades? I don't Orion will be interested in renovating buildings that are to be privately owned afterwards.Souravhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02520609813288202251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131658095945044290.post-18107315473556901932011-02-21T22:25:16.783+00:002011-02-21T22:25:16.783+00:00chris, just because a building may look poor in a...chris, just because a building may look poor in appearance, it doesn't mean it is not structurally strong.

But this...Yes Goldhawk Terrace should be restored. But this should be done as part of the redevelopment of the market. The flats could be built behind the shops and the terrace restored at the same time. Just because buildings are in a bad state of repair does not mean they should be demolished. Please go to our Facebook page 'Save 30-52 Goldhawk Road' and look at the photos there. You will see what the terrace looked like at the turn of c.20 and examples of shops on Whitechapel High Street which have have been recently restored. (At not huge expense.) I think it is also worth pointing out the the proposed flats are not of the human scale that 30-52 Goldhawk represent. If the new flats were stepped back behind the (restored) terrace we would still have a sense of the charm and scale of these nineteenth century shops. I think we could then have a win win solution. I strongly believe that this huge property development is being dressed up as the redevelopment of the market when in fact it is being driven by Orion's desire to build "luxury" flats. This new block will dominate this stretch of the Goldhawk Road. The new shops which will front the Goldhawk Road will, in my opinion, feel squashed underneath. All context and history will be lost.Collnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131658095945044290.post-82422926925407238452011-02-20T17:54:51.094+00:002011-02-20T17:54:51.094+00:00To be frank, while I appreciate the terrace of sho...To be frank, while I appreciate the terrace of shops along Goldhawk Road have historic importance, this is almostly completely negated by the fact they are nearly all run down and have not been maintained. <br /><br />As of now the only building there with any real value is the Cookes Pie and Mash shop which should be saved. For the remainder of the terrace to be saved, the landlords of the property should agree to refurbish the property.<br /><br />The significant number of flats on top of the market will need to be tolerated, otherwise we will need to wait for TfL to refurbish the market which we all know will never happen. With regards to the lack of parking spaces, wouldn't you rather that the scare space was used for housing and amenities rather than parking places? Also with the state of traffic in London and Shepherd's Bush, usage of public transport should be encouraged and there is plenty of it near the market.<br /><br />It would be good if the Council could use their strong arm tactics to replace some of the bookies on Goldhawk road with the displaced shops.Souravhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02520609813288202251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131658095945044290.post-53677000094589844142011-02-19T14:14:11.160+00:002011-02-19T14:14:11.160+00:00Cookes Pie and Mash has been on these premises sin...Cookes Pie and Mash has been on these premises since 1934 (established 1899).
