8 January (Part 1) - Bexley bombshell
You’ve probably already heard, but Bexleyheath is swapping this…
…for this…
That’s going to leave Bexleyheath semi-permanently short of parking space, the council short of a large income stream
and potentially, the unemployment figures 400 people worse. Better news is that
there will no longer be any need
to close Highland Road which threatened to turn
Gravel Hill, Arnsberg Way, Broadway and Albion Road into a half a mile diameter roundabout.
Tesco
said as recently as the beginning of last month that the future of the
Bexleyheath store was secure, but the demolition will at least save them the Business
Rate, they are not entirely daft. Will Teresa O’Neill be starting a ‘We Want
Tesco’ petition like she did for Waitrose in Sidcup?
Despite the loss, shopaholics should not despair, Sainsbury’s are close to opening in
Brampton Road and their large Abbey Wood store is only about six months away.
