The shopping parade in Meggeson Avenue was given a much needed face lift after a decision by the East Neighbourhood Partnership to use part of their budget to smarten up local amenities.

The face lift included new railings, litter bins, trees and an re-turfed grass area, plus repairs to the walls. This much needed work was supported by all the Liberal Democrat focus team, including Anne Work and Sharon Mintoff pictured.

Commenting on the improvements the Liberal Democrat parliamentary spokesman for Southampton Itchen, David Goodall said :

"I am very pleased Cllr Nigel Impey and the Neighbourhood Partnership were able to improve the parade of shops. It is important that local shopping areas, like this one and district centres, like Bitterne, are kept well maintained."

"It really adds to quality of life, not to mention it makes my walk to the hairdressers in this parade of shops that much better."
