Sushi Saturdays
The St Margarets Traders Association is delighted to announce the opening of a new Sushi stall in St Margarets. Starting this Saturday 18th February local resident Eddie Holmes will be running a sushi stall on the paved area outside Armstrongs Butchers in St Margarets Road. Operating from 10am to 2pm.
Eddie comments:
I’ve been in the Sushi business for years, I used to be the head chef at YO! Sushi in its very early days. I’ve been selling sushi at the Crown road fairs for several years now and so know how popular fresh sushi is in St Margarets. All of the sushi is hand made fresh at the stall, we use the finest Scottish salmon and only responsibly fished yellow fin tuna. We will have a full range of sushi so you can pick individual items or pick up ready to go lunch boxes from £5.00 we also do event catering and can deliver party platters. I’m looking forward to serving you sushi — this Saturday and every Saturday in St Margarets. Please come and have a look.
Eddie’s stall is fully licenced by Richmond council. The St Margarets Traders Association have been working with Eddie and Richmond council to introduce this initiative to St Margarets. We are also hoping to expand the offer to include fresh fish. Any enquires please contact traders@mystmargarets.com
A 2012 Market Update from Chase Buchanan
We ended 2011 with on a very successful note, having gained a proven 40% market share in TW1 and have had consistent growth across the Borough to Hampton Hill where we are now showing a 30% market share according to findaproperty.co.uk.
Despite the troubled world economy it appears that certain pockets of London and the southern counties remain buoyant and unaffected by the price depreciation elsewhere in the UK. The Richmond Borough is evidently in a league of its own.
We have had a fantastic start to 2012 and we have received a consistently high numbers of new buyers looking to move into the area. However, stock levels are still low in comparison to demand and are subsequently keeping prices strong.
We were instructed to sell more than double the amount of properties than any other agent in TW1 during January. Therefore, we have the best selection of fresh new buyers hoping to move within the next few months. We have agreed several sales following multiple bids and some sales have been agreed over asking price. This is a very promising start to 2012 and good news for local homeowners.
The demand for buy to let investments is expected to grow over the course of the year, as rental prices continue to grow and the returns are much higher than interest rates plus they offer the potential of capital growth as well. Chase Buchanan continue to provide the best advice and service possible across the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames.

Mayor Clare Launches Local Businessman's Charity Campaign
Richmond Mayor Councillor Clare Head visited St Margarets recently to help launch, local trader Jason Payne’s campaign to raise funds for Cancer Research UK.
Jason who runs Crown Classic Cars in Crown Road St Margarets is planning to trek the 5895 metres to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro in March next year.
Jason’s trek will take him through four eco systems on his way to the summit. Mt Kilimanjaro is the highest mountain in Africa and one of the largest volcanoes ever to break through the earth’s crust. Jason will be trekking for 7 days with only a small tent to call home; he is actively training to get into shape for the mammoth task.
Jay's Kilimanjaro Charity Trek
Local business owner Jason Payne from Crown Classic Cars in Crown Road, will be trekking the 5,895 metres to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro in an attempt to raise funds for Cancer Research UK. Jays is training hard for the trek that will take place in March next year, he hopes to raise at least £5,000 for the charity. The Mayor will be launching Jays charity campaign as part of her visit to St Margarets on Saturday. Please join the Mayor on Saturday from 11 am outside Armstrong’s butchers in St Margarets Road and help launch Jason’s campaign.
Please visit Jay’s charity page to make a donation: www.justgiving.com/jason-payne1
The Mayor is visiting St Margarets to promote her campaign to encourage volunteering on Saturday, 3rd September 2011 from 11am to 1pm. Mayor Cllr Clare Head is spearheading a volunteer recruitment drive to encourage more people to give their time to support others in the community. The Mayor is encouraging people to sign up to work with local organisations and charities through Richmond Council for Voluntary Services or to help improve the area where they live through the borough council’s Community Resource Bank.
Buyers flock to St Margarets
Julia Green, from Churchills Estate Agents gives us an appraisal of the current property market in St Margarets. Please also see the new St Margarets property page for more information.
The market in St Margarets has been very strong so far this year with an increased number of buyers being tempted over the water from Richmond and surrounding areas. There is an evident draw to the village atmosphere and certain pockets have become extremely sought after. These include roads in the village such as St Stephens Gardens which has seen prices close to peak 2007 levels. We have completed sales on two six bedroom semi- detached family homes in St Stephens Gardens within the last month, only just below the highest price achieved in 2007 which was £1,740,000.
Will You Accept Mayor Clare's Volunteer Challenge?
Borough Mayor Cllr Clare Head is spearheading a volunteer recruitment drive to encourage more people to give their time to support others in the community. The Mayor is encouraging people to sign up to work with local organisations and charities through Richmond Council for Voluntary Services or to help improve the area where they live through the borough council’s Community Resource Bank.
Cllr Head said:
“There are more than 800 voluntary groups in the borough already and thousands of local people give their time, expertise and support to them. These are fantastic organisations and we owe them so much. With a little nudge, even more could be done to help keep them providing the first rate services they run.
“This is the most community-minded borough in London, but it is true that while many of us think volunteering and supporting the community is a good idea, we don’t always get round to doing it. I hope that by chatting to people in the street at weekends and showing them the benefits, they will find the time.
“Whether you have a particular good cause you would like to do more for, or you want to do more for your local area, then there are ways to get involved. RCVS has for years done a tremendous job co-ordinating the charities, groups and support organisations we have here and I hope we shall be able to bolster the number of people on its books significantly. At the same time, the Council’s Community Resource Bank is the new way for people to get more directly involved in improving the area they live in. I’m sure there are many out there who can see the benefits of this.”
On Saturday, 3rd September the Mayor will be joined by representatives from the CRB and Richmond Council for Voluntary Services and will be giving out flyers asking people to think about what they could give in terms of time, knowledge, and resources, like computer work or driving. People will be able to say whether they would like to work with RCVS, the Community Resource Bank or both.

A Plan for St Margarets
The St Margarets Traders Association has published a leaflet that will soon be distributed to local residents. It highlights the Traders ideas for improving the high street without cost to the Council.
“We love St Margarets and care that it retains its village atmosphere and unique identity. We don’t want St Margarets to become another faceless town dominated by the major multiples or allow it to deteriorate to an area plagued by unsightly and vacant shop units. The St Margarets Traders Association (SMTA) has been working hard to ensure that we promote and protect all that is special about St Margarets.”
Ideas include getting a fishmonger and a bakery and adding more retail space on St Margarets and Crown Roads.
You can download and read the leaflet [pdf]
