At last work resumes at the unsightly carpark
Work to demolish the ugly concrete spiralling carpark next to the Colliers Wood Tower began in May 2010 but didn’t last long. The site has seen very little progress during the last few months. However today, November 5th 2010 (bonfire night) a crane can seen on the works sight. Let’s hope this marks the resumption of the demolition process.
