I...Firstly, fascinating blog - thanks for writing!<br /><br />I feel Deptford is on the rise and it is easily the best area I've lived in, despite being warned of its reputation before I came.<br /><br />One (sort of two) things strike me about the list you report: communication<br /><br />Revolution Way is a lovely idea, but I feel terribly sorry for the artists who seem to have been given funding yet little or no advice on how to market themselves. Sitting alone reading a book with your back to the window doesn't entice trade. A number could also be a lot more personally welcoming - frankly it's 'common sense 101', regardless of whether you're selling obscure installation art or books on David Bowie. <br /><br />The number of places who don't 'do' feedback. New businesses need to listen. For example, we visited one of the businesses listed a while ago and left because of other punters getting out of hand in the eating area early at 3pm. The owners could see it happening, asked for it to stop once (it was a couple of young kids), saw we were annoyed, then ignored it as we left. I wrote a letter of complaint and compliment (for the food) and heard...nothing. Tweets were also ignored. We won't be going back.<br /><br />This place could well be amazing without losing its soul to Shoreditchification - the refit of The Bird's Nest is a great example of how it should be done, but people need to listen for it to happen.<br /><br />Yours, local tour guide.

And as for the narrow boats, developers can't wait to get rid of boat dwellers, and have not provided any moorings!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7397970649062371366.post-79200629139389870972013-04-21T20:30:35.280+00:002013-04-21T20:30:35.280+00:00VIP launch day at New Capital Quay yesterday, but ...VIP launch day at New Capital Quay yesterday, but somehow I sneaked in. They are back to using images of narrow boats moored by the development - no doubt fine at high tide, but what happens at low tide?<br /><br />Show flat - downstairs fine if you like all-in-one living, but upstairs pokey and dark.<br /><br />Parking is an extra buy in addition to your £500k flat - and not a bike rack in site on site.rich mitch (not really)noreply@blogger.com
