Shoppers and business owners have spoken out about retail in an area where customers are ‘consistently genuine’ and businesses go ‘the extra mile.’ On Trent Boulevard in Lady Bay, there aren’t as many shops as there are in neighbouring West Bridgford - but Lady Bay businesses have left a good impression on their locals.
Lady Bay is home to a selection of local shops, as well as Lady Bay Fish and Chips, a Green King pub and the Lady Bay retail park is just over the bridge. With well-established independent shops where local residents are regulars too, people try and support them as much as they can.
Jon Gray, a barber, has worked in Lady Bay for the past 13 years. Jon, from Matlock Bath agrees the travel to work is worth it. He said: “Lady Bay is a nice area, the people are consistently genuine and that’s never changed. You get kids waving past and parents, most of my clients live around but I’m comfortable here.”
