  Does anyone know why the BP Garage in Townwall Street is closed? Been like it for a few days I think. I didn't think it was part of the new shopping mall? They revamped the shop just a few months ago.

  Not profitable anymore. Loss of trade due to op stack and reduced visitors to the town.

  Just try getting into Folkestone road garage at a busy time,its just not big enough for the amount of users.If theres a few using the cashpoint and some waiting to pay for fuel whilst someone holds up the que buying various lottery tickets etc the garage comes to a standstill.Crabble was a good sized garage and its a shame it shut.

  Crabble was not exactly quiet either, the pumps always seemed to be in use.

  II agree,Crabble was always busy but there was much more forecourt space,especialy for those that just wanted to shop.

  okay, so now it seems it's going to go, I wonder what the Ryelands will do with the plot. Sell it as part of the new shopping mall??

  Noticed there is a planning application for Change of Use to Vehicle Hire on DDC site regarding the BP on Townwall. Does anybody know more details?
