HERNE HILL PARADE -- TRANSFORMED!
The Herne Hill (aka Carlton) Parade of shops has been completely transformed, the final piece of the jig-saw being added with the tarmac-ing of the area in front of the shops.
There are now short-term parking, bicycle stands, really attractive heritage-style streetlamps and hanging baskets, as well as smooth pavements.
All shops are currently occupied: estate agent, dry cleaner, fish and chip, newsagent, chemist, grocer and coffee shop/restaurant.
Thanks are due to Southwark Council, local Councillor Robin Crookshank-Hilton and the shopkeepers themselves, who all contributed to the scheme in different ways to create the final result.
The lack of short-term parking was originally flagged up at a Herne Hill Forum Public Meeting three years ago.
