Whatever happened to....(various)

Whatever happened to:

1) The new library that was going to be built next to ED station (replacing Garden centre)

2) The closure of ED police station

3) Parkhill Properties, who were on a quest to buy up every commercial property on Lordship Lane

Thanks Karrie. I somehow doubt Parkhill have gone, but maybe they're treading water. As far as I know the police station is an admin centre rather than a base for bobbies-on-the-beat, so as far as the community is concerned I don't think it would be a loss, and they'd be getting rid of a bit of an eyesore too. Having said which, who knows what would be built in its place.

I doubt it would be any uglier than whats there already.

The Lib Dems were campaigning to save ED Police Station but the new cuts in Public spending have suggested that ED, Camberwell and one other station may be closed. The BARA Committee have over the years opposed the closure of the Police Station. Currently our police representative attends there for the Safer Neighbourhood Police Meetings every 2 months or so.
