 What can you tell us about the Valentine’s Day Competition? I arranged the shop front competition to promote South Norwood's business sector and encourage people to shop locally, as well as brighten up the area and promote the businesses who entered. The competition had some great coverage in the local press and I’m looking forward to arranging future initiatives. I am intending to organise more events and initiatives to attract people into South Norwood and promote what is being achieved. I am currently having produced 20,000 copies of a ‘Discover South Norwood’ leaflet that will feature the many varied high quality and highly skilled businesses available here. These leaflets will be distributed to homes all over the area, as I believe that people will feel more encourage to shop locally if they are aware of what is available. I have also had a lot of interest from existing businesses and others wanting to start businesses who want to trade in South Norwood and could bring further variety to the area, so I am working with planning, landlords and developers to find suitable premises. |
