John and others,

On the front of today’s Ealing Gazette it had a story about the petrol
station and the new road layout. Apparently the owner arrived two weeks
ago for work to find half the road outside the petrol station forecourt
was for buses only. Trade has already dropped by half, about £3000 a
day. Staff have been laid off as well.

Businesses in the area have signed a petition (with 500 signatures)
saying they can’t get to the petrol station with the new road layout.
Ealing Council had not received a compensation claim from the petrol
station owner, but did not comment whether he would be eligible (that’s
what it said in the Gazette).

Incidentally, Victoria Road eastbound was closed today (probably to
install cameras to ensure only the bus uses that part of road).

Jeff.
