I have been more than disappointed with the closure of the last two remaining banks in Swanley, as well as Boots. It is really important to me that Swanley town centre has a varied offering of shops to ensure a healthy High Street. Therefore, it was great to see the opening of a new independent business - BTSSwanley. This is a school uniform shop and I was pleased to meet with owners Collins and Rosanne Fadare.
Collins and Rosanne live in Swanley and decided to open BTSSwanley following first-hand experience of the difficulties getting school uniform for their children. By establishing a schoolwear shop, they want to ensure other parents don’t go through the same problems.
Collins and Rosanne see BTSSwanley as a community-orientated business and have some great community engagement initiatives and activities planned. I wish them every success and hope with the support of local people they build a thriving business in Swanley town centre.
