Interview with Melanie Morides/Fashion Enter Petition & Drapers Record article


Why does Bournemouth Council still choose to ignore us?


On the 7th January Vanessa Isaia Development Manager for the South West was interviewed by Journalist/Reporter - Melanie Morides. The interview was to establish what Fashion Enter has been striving to achieve in the South West for a year and a half.

Vanessa Isaia outside units 4/5 Royal Arcade BoscombeVanessa was asked a set of questions centering around the problem Fashion Enter is facing with Bournemouth Council over their decision not to grant us Discretionary Rate Relief (DRR).

It comes at a time with the worst case on unemployment in the South West and is set to rise. Fashion Enter is planning to offer workshops at our proposed unit(s) 4/5 at the Royal Arcade in Boscombe whereby unemployed people lacking certain skills can come in off the street and learn vital skills that will enable them to progress into the industry in whatever field they choose and there are many paths within the fashion industry.
