I'm not convinced this is a 'better' location than the Old Bank.

That section of the South Circular is by a quite precarious bend - and I'm not convinced that it will be particularly helpful to safety or traffic flow to have motorbikes trying to turn right onto the South Circular from outside this shop (or the side alley next to it). Are they planning to also have parking spaces on the forecourt for people wishing to collect? This would compound these problems -but the alternative is cars stopping on Stanstead Road itself which is equally bad!

Being directly opposite an established business selling equivalent products, and in an area already well served by a number of pizza delivery chains (including Catford) suggests that rather than 'creating' new business, a Domino's would probably just lead to substitution sales which would probably otherwise go to the existing local businesses. So lower margins for everyone, including Domino's in Catford!

There are far better locations in this area with greater footfall, fewer road challenges and less immediate competition from other pizza businesses. Units by the station, Kirkdale and Perry Rise all spring to mind!

I understand that some may feel it's more acceptable for residents already living with traffic noise to have a bit more, but I don't really see why it's acceptable for residents of Colfe road to have this extra noise but not those who live on Grierson road!
