@thatretailthing Why?

@thatretailthing But they were/are empty because they weren’t ready. Are you suggesting the new development in the High St will also likely take years to complete?

@thatretailthing Church St one isn’t finished so not sure how it’s relevant in this case

RT @PSSCommercial: @StokeyUpdates We have this let agreed, so hopefully it won't be vacant for too long once Mint has closed :)

@angejameson Indeed, though for context there are about 100 shops, restaurants and businesses on Church St and at the moment 6 sites are vacant (no. 71-3, 166,182,163,175,179) with 4 becoming vacant in the last 2 months, which is fairly common towards the end of the year as leases run out.

@thatretailthing @HackneyYIMBY If you are referring to the High St, it’s not a conservation area as far as I’m aware. @realnickperry can comment. Conservation status of Church St is meant to protect its character, some would say, charm, by ensuring the small Victorian shops aren’t merged for example.

RT @thatretailthing: @StokeyUpdates Very little to replace these units with. Sad times. There’s be little left soon.

RT @_Kelpe: @StokeyUpdates That’s a pretty snazzy closing down sale sign, on the upside.

@simonbooker bbc.co.uk/send/u21723349…

@RayburnMaarup @lickedspoon @StokeySye Also think more alteration shops and dry cleaners sell shoelaces. There’s a small alteration shop opposite the Red Lion

@RayburnMaarup @lickedspoon @StokeySye Try the small shoe repair shop next to the Egg Stores.

@StokeySye The problem seems to be that any clothing shop, or furniture as well, will always be a boutique due to the small size of the old Victorian shops. The criticism then is that they are overpriced etc. Cannot win it seems.

@cmtlr @realnickperry We shall call these from today ‘Google boundaries’

@realnickperry but of course..

@realnickperry Maybe someone at @googlemaps could answer!

@realnickperry they must get the address information from somewhere. Can’t imagine it being Google’s. Do you?

@realnickperry It’s interesting that it doesn’t simply state ‘Hackney’ across the board as that’s how I’d imagine those addresses are officially listed. Why refer to ill-defined districts?

@realnickperry All the addresses on the east side south of Amhurst Road are listed as Hackney Downs and north of Evering Road listed as Clapton. Go figure.

@realnickperry @goretechre @hackneycouncil @HackneySociety Surely @hackneycouncil has an approximate end date in mind??

@realnickperry @goretechre @hackneycouncil @HackneySociety The reason I raised this is that it appears (on weekends at least) that nothing has been happening apart from a security guard sitting inside. The shopfronts now look OK-ish so I’m curious what’s left, is anyone working on it and when will it be finished.
