New Healthcare Facilities Programme Review
Submission – Debbie Harrington – 1-2-1 Harrington Hair, 42 Kensington Place I've been asked to email you with my thoughts
6 years ago my business was part of the plans to pull down Sutherland Court, Kensington place. For a long time I was waiting for the day that I going to be thrown out with very little contact from D2 or the government. I was just left wondering. The stress and the unrest was unbearable along with the same question from every client: "what's going to happen?" Day after day, month after month!
Then the "plans" for the hospital changed, I was off the hook. Alas here we go again.
I have been trying to sell my business for 2 years, who in their right mind would even contemplate a new venture in Kensington Place, with the not knowing? Hence, I'm back to square one, but 2 staff down, 1 retired, 1 has left to go to another salon – she couldn't stand the not knowing.
I now can't afford to pay the rent on my own, I have given in; my mental health is too important to me, the stress is too much for me.
So there you have it, I actually don't give a damn where they put the hospital.
They have not given a damn about me, or the other businesses and the 14 flats above.
One thing I will say, I hope they bloody well get on with it this time!!
