Thanks Phoenix Logistics

My compliments and thanks to Phoenix Logistics, who have honoured their word (see A Ray of Hope)and put up boarding around their newly acquired site on the corner of St James's Rd and Newgate.

The boarding now hides the ever growing pile of rubble that inhabited this site for almost two years.

Although boarding is not exactly pleasing on the eye, it is most certainly an improvement on the rubble.

I hope that they are able to redevelop the site as quickly as possible, so that we don't have to stare at the boarding for too long.

Pile Of Rubble

Sent to Croydon Council today:

"When will you be removing the pile of rubble that has sat at the corner of St James's Rd and Newgate for well over 18 months?

Kind regards

Here is the pile, in all its majesty!

A Pile of Rubble

I am pleased to say that there may be some improvement to one of the sites I have featured on this blog.

The "Pile of Rubble", which resides on the corner of Newgate and St James's road may be redeveloped. To view the original article please click here.

The above picture were taken in February, the pile of rubble has since grown!

The residents in the locality of the site have received a letter from Green Issues Communications (a consultancy group acting for Phoenix Logistics); inviting them to view an exhibition of a proposed development for the site, which is being put forward by Phoenix Logistics.

The exhibition will be held in the West Croydon Baptist Church, Whitehorse Road, on Friday 16 July between 15:00 and 20:00 and Saturday 17 July between 10:00 and 16:00.

I will try to get along there to have a look.

A Pile of Rubble

This charming picture below shows a pile of rubble; which mysteriously appeared outside a rather shabby office (situated on St James’s Road near Newgate Croydon), some time during 2003.

Needless to say neither the owners of the building, nor Croydon Council, have done anything about it.

As with all piles of debris, the ubiquitous abandoned shopping trolley has also appeared.
