Pitshanger Lane Day

Hundreds show their support for much loved local Lane

Locals turned out en masse to celebrate the reopening of Pitshanger Lane on Saturday.

The busy shopping street has undergone a transformation in the 'Streets For People' scheme with newly laid pavements and street furniture.

Shops had special promotional offers for the day and many provided free cupcakes, balloons & face painting.

There was plenty of food on offer and many stores offered free taster samples - there was also a very good trade in special Pitshanger Lane products, - mugs, notebooks and keyrings.

The Lane is a popular community focal point and many of the shops are run by independent traders.

Local feelings are running high about proposals for a Tesco supermarket for the Lane and many people signed up for a newsletter to hear more news about this.
