Yes IWereAbsolutelyFuming, 120 shops for each Forest Hill resident as memory serves. Or maybe the other way round. Either way it's too many especially when most people pootle off to pray to the Bluewater mammon when they "need a few bits".

A bone of contention I recall but shops must become flats. But when they do this should surely be at the **** end of Dartmouth Road. This would foster a commercial centre into which the likes of Provender might be seduced. Currently it's an embarrassment.
