As an ex Small Business owner myself I can identify with Nicks predicament .. when one relies upon Walk ins... and Passing Trade .. to have this thrust upon you for months on end, can destroy your Business...and can take a serious toll on your mental health ... It happened to me... and almost crippled my Business...

PRESS RELEASE UPPER HOLLOWAY BARBER TO MARCH TO TFL HQ THIS FRIDAY TO PRESENT HIS PETITION DEMANDING COMPENSATION FOR 3 MONTH HOLLOWAY ROAD CLOSURES Nick Christophorou of Short Cut Barber Shop on 760 Holloway Rd, London N19 3JF will present his petition demanding compensation from TfL for the effect a 3 month closure of Holloway Road (due to a new bridge at Upper Holloway Rd Station) has had on his business. Nick said “I have been in business at my present location for nearly 20 years and have an established client base. However the recent totally unexpected, unforeseen and unannounced road closure of Holloway Road due to Upper Holloway bridge replacement works has hit my trade like an unwelcome bomb. I am unable to display my sandwich board on the pavement as I have done for years & many clients assume that I am not open for business. TFL should have given us local businesses some sort of notice of these works and I am totally at odds as to why this disruption should inconvenience us for nearly 3 months. In this day and age a quarter of a year to solve a minor replacement is absolutely ridiculous!! Surely TFL owe local businesses an apology and indeed some form of compensation for loss of earnings.” Nick has amassed over 500 signatures supporting his campaign for monetary compensation via his petition on ipetitions - http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/compensation-for-local-businesses-affected-by-3 Nick will visit TfL Headquarters on Friday morning at 11am to present his petition to TfL management along with his numerous supporters. He said “I hope TfL are decent people and see the damage they have inflicted on my small barber shop, my Xmas takings were down over 75%, I have really suffered over the past 6 months, and it has been very depressing.” Holloway Road closures are scheduled to end on 16th January, though Nick is doubtful TfL will meet their deadline. Nick stated “I won’t hold my breath on TfL opening Holloway Rd on Monday; it is time for TFL to

I hope you get the remaining signatures! This has been both unfair and disruptive for residents, business owners, taxi/minicab users and all other commuters. TFL have a lot to answer for.
