WIND and rain failed to deter hundreds of shoppers who descended on Uxbridge to browse the three-day French market last week.

The town centre became a hive of activity as stalls laden with bread, cheese, cakes and condiments, as well as clothing, jewellery and gifts, lined the High Street between Belmont Road and Windsor Street from Thursday (23) to Saturday (25).

MORE than 200 people marched through the streets of Uxbridge on Sunday (26) as part of a 'peace walk'.

The procession, which assembled outside Uxbridge Police Station, was led by police borough commander, Julian Worker, and Deputy Mayor of Hillingdon, Councillor Mary O'Connor.

Local schools and community groups entertained the crowds, with lively performances from Indian Dhol drummers, all aged 15, from Uxbridge High School, and award-winning Uxbridge-based dance academy, Futunity.

TWO Uxbridge kick-boxing instructors helped raise a massive £300,000 for a cancer charity after completing the Great North Run with a team of soap stars and former Olympians.

David Gentry clocked a time of 2:00:05 in his first half-marathon, just behind running partner and former Casualty actress Stacey Cadman in 1:57:15.

A FRENCH market in Uxbridge has been controversially approved, despite fierce opposition from traders who fear it will endanger their livelihoods.

The three-day market will open in the High Street from this Thursday (23) until Saturday (25) between Windsor Street and Belmont Road.

The market, to be organised by Savoir Fayre, which also runs markets in Harrow and Pinner, was given the go ahead by Hillingdon Council's licensing committee last Friday (17).

TIME is running out for Gazette readers to decide which of two parks in Hillingdon is worthy of a £1,000 makeover.

Uxbridge Common Pond and Coney Green came top in a list of almost 200 green spaces nominated for an image overhaul, as part of the Go Green initiative launched by the Gazette, in partnership with The Chimes shopping centre in Uxbridge.

Dozens of readers have voted in a poll on the Gazette's website, www.uxbridgegazette.co.uk, which is proving to be a closely-run contest, with Uxbridge Common Pond, situated off Park Road, currently securing 52.4 per cent of the vote, while Coney Green has 47.6 per cent.

A FRENCH market is set to come to town for three days later this month- but market traders in the Mall Pavilions say it could be a 'tragedy' for them.

Hillingdon Council are planning for the three day market to come to Uxbridge High Street next Thursday to Saturday. (23-25)

It would be based on the open area between Windsor Street and Belmont Road, which last year underwent a £250,000 refurbishment to change the layout, removing trees.

This has enabled the possibility of a French market coming to the town, with the Savoir Fayre who run markets in Harrow and Pinner, being invited.

TWO parks are in with a chance of winning a £1,000 makeover- and it is up to our readers to choose which one by voting online.

Earlier this year the Gazette launched a Go Green initative in partnership with The Chimes shopping centre in Uxbridge, where readers and shoppers were asked to nominate green spaces which might need a spruce-up.

Nearly 200 nominations have been whittled down to just two, Uxbridge Common Pond, and Coney Green.

32 MARKET SQUARE - Details in compliance with conditions: Change of use from Class A1 (Shops) to Class A3 (Restaurants and Cafes) for use as Coffee shop/Cafe.

72 BRIDGE ROAD - Conversion of roofspace to habitable use with dormer to rear and 1 rooflight to front, involving alterations to existing side elevation.
