A group of residents has organised a meeting later this month to discuss the state of Putney High Street.

Entitled ‘Save Putney High Street’, the event has been prompted about concerns about the town centre and its future.

One of the organisers, Vicky Diamond said, “We want to make our High Street a desirable place to visit, shop, eat and spend time in.

"Cllr Ethan Brooks, a Thamesfield Councillor has been hugely supportive. At this meeting we hope to hear how the High Street functions, how Positively Putney works, the issues with empty premises, and what we can all do to help improve things. It's not going to be an easy or quick fix, but we're all worried about the current state of it. “

The meeting taking on Tuesday 24 January from 7.30pm to 9.30pm at the Community Church Putney on Werter Road (SW15 2LL).

We've always done that and won't be changing, in fact we'd like to do more.

However, the readership that these stories generates is often below that needed to cover the cost of producing them. Our financial resources are limited and the local media environment is intensely competitive so there is a constraint on what we can do.

We are therefore asking our readers to consider offering financial support to these efforts. Any money given will help support community and public interest news and the expansion of our coverage in this area.

One-off donations are also appreciated. Choose The Amount You Wish To Contribute.
