OTTAWAY TO ATTEND KENLEY TRADERS ASSOCIATION MEETING ON RED-ROUTE

Richard Ottaway, Conservative MP for Croydon South, will attend a meeting of the Kenley Traders Association this evening.

Richard Ottaway says:-

"I have accepted Kenley Traders Association's invitation to this meeting in order to hear their concerns about Mayor's plans to introduce a Red Route on the A22 Godstone Road."

"There is every possibility that the introduction of a Red Route along this road will blight the livelihoods of shop owners and other small business in Kenley - as we have all seen happen in Coulsdon. I will do everything I can to ensure that my constituent's voices are heard in order to prevent this."

Note to editors: Richard Ottaway will attend the Meeting of the Kenley Traders Association at 6pm on Friday 1st February at Kenley Memorial Hall, Godstone Road, Kenley.
