BUSINESS NEWS Sick of getting stuck on Lewes High Street because a lorry is unloading its wares into a shop? Well, the logjams should become a thing of the past if the ‘congestion-busting’ measures introduced by the East Sussex County Council in the High Street have the desired effect. The headline changes among the 32 implemented at the end of November are a ban on parking on pavements on the High Street during peak traffic (8-10am and 4-6pm), with the addition of two loading bays to compensate (one opposite the law courts, and one opposite Albion Street). The eagle-eyed will have noticed the yellow ‘kerb blips’ on the road indicating the new rules. Let’s hope that makes our high street a more pleasant shopping environment. A big thumbs up to the Chamber of Commerce and the Lewes High Street Traders Association for all the hard work that made last year’s Late Night Shopping, on December 6th, such a success, despite the rain. We particularly enjoyed the Gin & Fizz tent on the Gun Lawn, testament to the emergence of Sussex as one of Europe’s top wine-growing regions, and centre of distilleries. And congratulations to the winners of the first annual shop window display competition, judged by Mayor Janet Baah, and awarded to WE Clark; second place went to Cordelia James; and joint thirds to Harveys Brewery and Riverside Flowers. Not much to report on in the way of shop chops and changes in Lewes. Our new addition to the Eastgate scene is the latest branch of the international chain Subway, which has opened where Thomas Cook used to be: their USP, of course, is offering myriad combinations for your sandwich filling. Of course, many bemoan the fact the chain will be taking custom away from independent food outlets and the money will seep out of the local economy; others see the arrival of that sort of shop as a magnet to visitors who will spend money in other shops. All that’s come to our attention otherwise is the arrival of ‘breastfeeding counsellor’ Baby Addition on Market Street, next to the new barbers. On their sign they offer a ‘breastfeeding dropin’ on Tuesdays, as well as a new parent meeting area, a gift shop and the services of a birth trauma counsellor. Oh, and good luck to timber merchants Wenban Smith, who have moved their Lewes branch to Brook Road, behind Tesco, to the spot where CarpetRight used to be. Finally, congratulations for this year’s winners in the County Town Dinner and Fatstock Awards, organised by the Lewes Rotary Club, which raised over £5,000 for The Bevern Trust at the Town Hall on Nov 28th. The Best Business award was won by Oakley’s. Runners-up in that category were Richard Soan Roofing and Charles Wycherley Estate Agents. Personality of the Year went to Wendy Baker of The Dance Academy Lewes, and Producer of the Year to Barcombe Nurseries. Alex Leith 92
