The Directory for West Hampstead & Fortune Green
The surest way of finding good, reliable, businesses and traders is the recommendation of friends and neighbours. Which is why we asked users of the Sidings Community Centre for their suggestions. We published the first printed Directory for West Hampstead and Fortune Green in 2004, with print run of five thousand and distributed it to all the households in the area.
We set out to provide a directory tailored precisely to help the people in the streets to which we delivered. So we included as much other stuff as we could find: Community organisations, the Council, healthcare, schools, sports centres, transport links and markets were all added. And we made sure only relevant stuff was included; for example we listed only local post offices – not every one in North West London!
We wanted to make sure that our information is accurate and reliable. So we made sure that any listing has a satisfied customer living locally. Every suggestion we get is carefully considered before being added to our live database, to make sure the details are correct and relevant to the areas in which we publish.
Now, over five years on, we still list only businesses and organisations that the community can trust. You can search for a suggestion or recommend a local tradesman or service.
As an ethical business we take our responsibilities seriously. We do not list or advertise businesses or organisations who seem to us to have questionable practices. Get-rich-quick schemes like pyramid selling or firms with excessive charges (however legal) are just not included.
So no scams, no premium-rate phone numbers, no upfront fees, no astronomical loan rates – just fair deals.
The next printed edition of the Directory for West Hampstead & Fortune Green will be published in February 2012.
