A warm welcome to local resident Jonathan Pearl, who has become the chair of FOSBG, The Friends of Shepherd's Bush Green

In recent months Jonathan has been working with our local council, police and other stakeholders to try and improve the state of Shepherd's Bush Green. 

With the new Hoxton Hotel soon opening, and the redevelopment and renewal of the old Walkabout pub, Jonathan believes that local residents now have a real chance to make significant improvements to our neighbourhood.

Jonathan is committed to helping to improve our local neighbourhood, working with our local council, police and other local stakeholders.  Jonathan argues that the soon-to-be-opened Hoxton Hotel, and the redevelopment and renewal of the old Walkabout pub, offer the potential for a fresh start for Shepherd's Bush.
