elcome back! I’m very
pleased to bring you
another edition of Our
Patch. The response has
been great for the first edition and I
would like to thank everyone who
phoned, emailed, or stopped by the
office to pass on their compliments.
For me, the great reaction to the first
issue can be mainly put down to two
things: the area we live in and the local
people who live and work here.
Whether it be the new and exciting
property developments coming soon
This area would be nothing
without the people and
community at its heart
(pages 4-5), the fantastic offers from
local Partner businesses (11-13), the
many parties taking place on the banks
of the Thames for the boat race (14-15)
or the wealth of interesting local history
(16-17), it is our beloved Hammersmith
and Shepherds Bush which are really
the stars of this magazine. But of course
this area would be nothing without the
people and community at its heart.
Our growing network of local
businesses are a great example of this,
but for me it’s the people I meet on a
day-to-day basis through my job who
make me pleased and proud to call this
part of west London my home.
The wealth of local characters and
friendly faces make up a tight-knit
community of people who really care
about the area they live in – and I’m
fairly sure that this is quite a rare
thing in London. Yes, our patch is
certainly a special one.
