UCL masters students carried out a project that explored the possible impacts on small businesses on the edges of the development and in particular Harlesden. The students presented their well-received report at a GUA meeting in June 2016. 

​

As a follow up GUA workers have engaged further with the small businesses in Harlesden and East Acton.

A directory (see below - under construction) has been put together to help identify what are the existing businesses with the aim of monitoring any future changes.
