What North London Loses When Shops Close

The specific accountability of what the North London community loses when local shops close

By Lowri Griffiths, North London.

The Loss

The specific accountability of what the North London community loses when the specific local shops close -- the specific economic function, the specific social function, and the specific community identity function that the independent local shop produces in ways that the online retail and the chain store do not replicate -- is the accountability journalism of the neighbourhood commercial loss.

The Evidence

The evidence from the specific shop closures the column has documented: the hardware shop that was the specific resource for the specific repair projects the neighbourhood undertook; and the newsagent that was the specific daily social encounter whose closure produced the specific social isolation of the specific elderly residents.

Lowri Coverage

Lowri Griffiths covers the shop closures because the accountability journalism of the neighbourhood requires examining the specific losses that the commercial change produces, not only the specific gains.
