MP Says Curtain Shop Row is Bad for the Town

Warwick & Leamington MP James Plaskitt – whose constituency includes Henley-in-Arden – told Henley NEWS On-line, he was dismayed by the Parish Council’s mishandling of the curtain shop row in the town. He was critical of the on-going argument, of the alleged personal comments, and of the secrecy surrounding the issue. He is calling on the parish council to bring the matter to a speedy conclusion to avoid further damage to the town’s image.

Mr Plaskitt said, “Personally, the frontage looks fine to me, but if some parish councillors want to make it a planning issue, then they should take it before the district’s planners and get it quickly resolved. As it is, all the innuendo and secrecy is just unpleasant and reflects poorly on the town.”

Mr Plaskitt says he will offer proprietor Zak Miah any help he can.

Mr Plaskitt added, “Residents seem to be understandably annoyed at the council’s antics. Members should heed that and clear the matter up swiftly. A local business doesn’t need this sort of hassle.”
