The regeneration plans sound promising:


http://www.elephantandcastle.org.uk/regenerationprogramme/


"Key features of the Elephant and Castle framework for development include:


?demolition of the shopping centre and Heygate Estate

?rehousing of Heygate Estate residents into high quality social housing in the Elephant and Castle area

?removal of the congested road system and rerouting of traffic out of the core area

?creation of a new pedestrian-friendly town centre

?development of 6, 600 new homes

?creation of 75,000m2 of modern retail and leisure facilities

?design of an improved transport interchange

?creation of two new parks

?addition of two extra schools, including a city academy

?creation of over 4,000 new jobs as a result of these changes

?adoption of a range of innovative measures to minimise energy consumption

?quality design at the heart of the plans"


The rerouting of traffic alone should make an enormous difference.

    • Typically the way 'family run businesses' operate is either to have family members continue the business, or to sell on, either as a site (in this instance) or as a going concern. Either which way this is the way the owners create a 'pension' from the business. The number of suggestions as to alternatives makes me feel that the market for small repairing garages locally may be well served, so selling on the site makes the best financial sense for the owners. It's a sign not of the times but of normal business realities. 
    • I agree it's a shame, but it is not a "sign of the times", unless you think that up to now people have never grown older and retired!
