Poundland drove the market stall by Sainsburys, where people used to get cheap household items, out of business. Now it has gone too. There is now an imbalance on Chiswick High Road with a lack of discount options.The danger is that there won't be a compensating move to a more upmarket feel for the area. Unless Marks and Spencers push on quickly with their investment plans, there will be three more vacant units right in the heart of town. Whatever they may have been planning in terms of investment a month ago could have been rethought with money now needed for proper systems security after the cyberhack.
