Deano. Is that 5 minutes in the car? I can assure you that Kirkdale is not 5 mins away with a big bag of washing and no car. The point I made months back on this forum is there is a large part of the community who have absolute no need for an estate agent, we aren't going anywhere, what we need is a laundrette that is used by us 1 - 2 times a week, this needs to be in our local town centre.
Agreed it could do with a lick of paint. Personally I would look more favorably on a town centre greeting me with an everyday public facility than a multitude of estate agents, that doesn't tell me this is a community with people here for the long term.
Anyway, the signs are up to say it closes for it's last wash on March 30 so that valuable facility will be gone. It's a shame.
