I do feel very sorry for old people who find it tricky to get out at the best of times and who will now have to travel further. Clearly running a laundrette is just not viable any more. That doesn't mean we have to petition to keep it and to prevent pedder from taking it over. I've driven the journey lots of times. It is 2 minutes by car. Park on willow way and a 2 minute walk. It's a bit different if you are a pensioner I grant.
