These two frontages have been unfinished for quite some weeks now. On the left is Dave Chu's former much-loved hardware shop and on the right, the frontage of the new build in Dave's old yard. Both look a mess and I would like to know what the timescale is to finish them off to a high standard.

@Everyone
When is ANYONE going to address how we have such a relatively high number of shops being used by businesses who don't have many or even any obvious customers?
a repro antique radiator showroom Never opens
a new glaziers situated at the corner of two streets with extremely limited access for vehicles to pass let alone park!
where are the customers and how will panes of glass etc (potentially) be delivered or collected at that spot? Maybe when it eventually opens we will find out. Last I looked there were only armchairs and a small rug inside. For the workers. To sit. I think a tv as well.
and look! a second men's barbershop in our tiny locality. kitted out from opening day with seemingly no expense spared.
Decorated v much like the dozens down green lanes, only this one has almost no custom. I wonder how rent and rates and salaries get paid. Hmm.
something is afoot in our village of Alexandra Park.
Who will be brave enough to tell the council this is bad news for our community?
We need genuine shops and proper useful businesses and keep hoping this will happen. It doesn't. And worse things seem to be going in a very different direction.
There's a lot washing going on yet not a launderette in sight.
Hi Susie, last year there was a notice on Daves old shop stating that the front had to be returned to it original design. This was posted by the government department that deals with appeals after the original plan was turned down by Haringey. Permission was granted last December to change the designation from retail to a gym, it now seems to be an Orthodox Jewish men only meeting house with what looks like a bar.
As for the new shop on the old yard at least the design is in keeping with what nos 20 and 18 although the front entrance step needs finishing.
I see what you mean about the front step, and would also add that the gated path alongside the new build hasn't been finished either.
