Shutter shock!
15 January 2018
I & H Stores have installed images of babies and young children on their shutters - but why? Read on.
As you travel into West Ealing you will notice new cheerful shutters on the front of I & H Stores, 28 – 34 Broadway, depicting three young children smiling out at you. These colourful images certainly brighten up a dull day but what’s the reason behind them?
It turns out that the images are part of a plan to manage anti-social behaviour in the area. According to research seeing a baby or a young child’s face can have a significant impact on an adult, including bringing out a caring response.
Similar schemes have been trialled in South-East London in Woolwich and have received a positive welcome from the local community. What do you think?
I & H Stores is a family-run business and one of the oldest stores in West Ealing. I & H offer an extensive range of ready-made curtains, net curtains, bedding and household linens, various types of curtain tracks and poles.
