11 January (Part 1) - Seeking the stamp of approval
As forecast there was
no way I could
look at the plans for the Abbey Wood Post Office site yesterday, they were on show for
only four hours more than a mile or a 12 minute bus ride away.
Fortunately Bonkers has friends who were prepared to make the trek.

Social Media posts were almost universally negative although perhaps more criticism is aimed at the consultation process and the developer’s inability
to answer questions than the building itself. (The lack of proof reading is once
again appalling.)
To my mind it looks far more appropriate to the local scene than
the skyscraper
that Peabody planned to put up across the road.
Peabody will be exhibiting its revised plans in the much more convenient Abbey
Wood Community Centre next week. Thursday 17th January from 15:30 to 19:30 and
Saturday 19th from 10:00 to 13:30.
The Post Office will close permanently next Wednesday and no nearby alternative is available.
