Chuggers curbed
Some good news has just hit my desk in the form of a press release from Hillingdon Borough Council.
New measures have been introduced to tackle 'my friends' the charity chuggers in Uxbridge town centre. This has really made my day as regular readers of this blog will know that they have been the subject of several recent rants from me.
The new measures follow on from a 6,000 signature petition to the council complaining about the charity chuggers along with market researchers and people trying to solicit custom in Uxbridge.
I just hope that the charity chuggers in particular adhere to the new measures and I will certainly be naming and shaming them if they fail to comply with the 'crackdown.'
For the time being it looks like I can venture into the town centre without the threat of being accosted by the collectors.
You can read the full story on the new measures on our website and we will also be covering it in more detail in next week's Gazette.
