8 February (Part 2) - No more Barge Pole
The
Agenda for next week’s Places Scrutiny meeting reveals that Peabody has
purchased Thamesmead’s Barge Pole pub (I’ve never been in it) and the old
Thresher’s off-licence next door to the long demolished Harrow Inn (I never went
inside it) and both are to be fast-tracked to demolition.
Did I say fast tracked? I’ve not seen Peabody do anything fast since taking over from their Gallions predecessor.
While I was otherwise occupied the excellent
fromthemurkydepths put out yet another of its
reports complete with a photo borrowed from Bonkers. I will try to get
a better one later today.
