Barnes Town Team

One of Barnes’ greatest charms is its concentration of small independent shops, but the recession has hit them hard and if Barnes is to retain its unique character it needs to encourage more people to shop locally and more people to visit Barnes to shop.

A group of local volunteers made up of shopkeepers, business owners, landlords, the BCA and local councillors  – the Town Team - has secured a £10,000 Government grant to develop activities to help market Barnes by driving footfall to shops and businesses in Barnes. It’s not a huge amount of money and needs to be spent wisely.

In May 2013 we ran a shopping survey amongst residents, please click the links below to download the results, you can choose either a full summary or a short overview.
