20 December (Part 2) - Lesnes Abbey Visitor Centre. See it come down
Over
the three days 15th to 17th December the old Lesnes Visitor Centre came down to
be replaced by a soulless glass and stainless steel structure which I have yet
to to hear anything good about. However according to the council’s leaflet, Alex
Sawyer again, it will provide a refreshment kiosk which, who knows, may be
better stocked than the one at the Belvedere Splash Park, and upgraded public conveniences.
Perhaps they will be open for longer hours, but the demolished toilets had
always been among the best in Bexley, when of course they had competition.
Gareth Bacon closed nearly all the others four years ago. As usual, as soon as
the election was safely in the bag,
Bacon sold the family silver
for enough money to keep him and
his missus in allowances for two whole years.
