New Shop opens in Collier Row

Collier Row Councillor, Andrew Mann (R.A Havering Park) officially opened Collier Row’s newest shop this week. “Cyclelife Collier Row” is a new shop, working in partnership with cycle manufacture, Rayleigh.

The shop has been the brainchild of Collier Row Resident, Cliff Boness, who has spent the last month re-fitting the former green-grocers shop into a state of the art cycle shop. Apart from selling bikes, the shop will also sell cycle accessories and will operate a workshop for repairs and servicing for local people.

Cllr Mann was on hand with shop owner, Cliff Boness to cut the ribbon as the shop officially opened for business and it only took 5 minutes for the first customers to walk through the door and start looking around.

Cllr Mann said “I think it is fantastic that a new shop is opening in Collier Row, sadly we still have a few empty properties and this new venture helps keep the Town Centre vibrant and alive and hopefully will help bring more shoppers to Collier Row”
