Really? I guess I will use that about as much as I did the launderette.


In my view would be far better used to expand the Co-op which has the narrowest aisles and could definitely use the extra space.

The quandary is, expensive site makes it unaffordable for most, and yet the size and space available isn't big enough for a major retailer (age old ED problem). So what happens? The co-op expands and pays over the odds for some storage space.

It would be great if it were used as (almost) anything. FHR is looking better than ever, despite that eyesore near the barber's - the yellow and blue building.

The William Hill is also empty, but both it and the former laundry look like something is happening with them. An extended Coop would be good.

I remember this bakery too - It was owned by a neighbour of mine who used to live a few roads away from the bakery itself - it was open all hours but I remember being disappointed that their cream cakes were never real cream.

Does anyone know what is happening to the empty site just round the corner from the launderette in Dunstans Road?

The site was cleared some time ago but a live electricity supply was left attached to the wall which was clearly extremely dangerous in the rain. It has now finally been cut off, but the site remains empty.

The words I've heard are that the flats will be renovated and let with nothing happening just yet to the old laundry space. Also, that the lady that runs French cafe is taking the building next to the barbers and turning it into a french restaurant.

This is definitely true, current lease has run out and she's in process of sorting out the interior of the blue/yellow place (which used to be a restaurant way back when?)

    • I highly recommend Phil at Four Paws doors for fitting a pet door. He has recently fitted a new microchip door for me in a very awkward tight spot. He came up with a solution for the problem of how to fit it within the space and supplied the appropriate flap as well as fitting it. The work was done within a couple of days of my initial enquiry. He was very friendly and helpful throughout and did not make a fuss despite having to work hunched under a desk and hitting his head several times!!!  His indepth knowledge was really beneficial and so much better than getting a general handyman to do it.  http://www.fourpawsdoors.co.uk/ m. 07814 406010
    • Cars are getting bigger and heavier (new cars have become so bloated that half of them are too wide to fit in parking spaces designed to the minimum on-street standards. The average width of a new car in the EU and UK passed 180cm in the first half of 2023, having grown an average of 0.5cm each year since 2001). Speed enforcement is also pretty rare in practice and according to DfT stats, under free-flowing traffic conditions, 50% of car drivers exceed the speed limit on 30mph roads. Hopefully we'll see regulation to stop the car bloat arms race, and perhaps moves to use the same geolocation speed limiters deemed essential for electric hire scooters, but not currently SUVs. Would certainly be more effective and cause less noise, pollution and damage than speed bumps. Also the cost gets passed to the manufactures, rather than public authorities.
    • Another recommendation for Half Moon- my youngest daughter attended and it was by far the best nursery we’ve ever experienced. The teachers are just wonderful and they care so much for the children (who, in return, love them to bits). There’s also a very low staff turnover, so there’s real stability and continuity for the children. My daughter left each day so happy and proud to show me what she’d learnt. It’s amazing!
    • Did you take the car number? Otherwise the council wil have to look through it for an address.
