I also look forward to using the empty shop, when it becomes a pub, a restaurant or another shop that makes a positive contribution to the area and makes best use of this prime location for passing trade rather than a telephone hotline.

I hope that Dominos find another more suitable location in the local area as I am sure there is a market for them in SE23 (not that we are short of pizza deliveries), and there are a number of more suitable empty units which will not meet with the same opposition from local residents. Dominos have a history of challenging local council decisions in such circumstances but I hope that in this case they feel their efforts are better directed elsewhere. This is probably supported by the fact that they never submitted new designs for the frontage after withdrawing their previous application.
