This morning, I was glad to attend the relaunch of Waitrose in Ruislip, which has been undergoing refurbishment since the end of January. Also in attendance were Ruislip councillors John Riley and Philip Corthorne, who is also the Mayor of Hillingdon.
I met with Manager Ian, who explained a bit more about the upgrades that have been made to improve energy efficiency and offer more choice to customers.
At a time when we are seeing businesses of all sizes struggling under the pressure of new employment regulations and increased taxes, it is great to see this investment from the John Lewis Partnership in a much-valued part of the community here in Ruislip.
I know that residents will welcome this refurbishment and it will have benefits for the whole high street.
