24 February (Part 3) - Book Buster

The abridged version It was known four years ago that the new Sidcup library planned for the old Blockbuster site would be smaller than the one in Hadlow Road because Bexley’s principal StoryTeller admitted as much four years ago when facing the unfortunately named Sidcup Library Action Group. Sidcup Councillor June Slaughter had said the same even earlier.

But how much smaller is it? Quite a lot actually. The implication that it might be just a bit smaller is well wide of the mark. 55% of the floor space has been lost.

To be more precise, Hadlow Road extended over 694 square metres and the Storyteller shrank it down to 316 square metres.
