  had a rare foray down the london road today in order to get some stuff for my computer, there are 2 shops near the cherry tree that offer excellent service and an extensive range of parts.
  
  i did not take notes so all that comes here is not 100% accurate just my opinion based on memory.
  
  the road is in a worst state than when i last went down there more than a year ago, it seemed like more shops were empty than filled. the road itself is a race track, drivers sprint away from the lights at the "eagle" down to the set at the "cherry tree/kingfisher" that are usually red, no change there.
  
  the high spots seemed to be a bakers with a nice range of cakes, a chemist and a minimarket. everything else looked like the landlords did not give a monkeys. the houses opposite the doctor's surgery had a load of "to let" signs, surely one would have to be forced to live in them if the state of the exterior is anything to go by.
  
  
  there were a few high spots, a hairdressers had opened and looked inviting, also a bright and cheerful shop at the front of the charlton centre that was selling "ex catalogue" stuff(looked like mainly childrens stuff).
  
  the whole area needs a good steam clean to get rid of the grime left by the relentless traffic.
  
  i wish jeanette and colleagues at the l.r.c.f. the very best of luck in trying to improve things, it certainly needs and injection of funding.
