Timothy writes: The elected area committee for South London visited a range of The Co-operative businesses in
Bromley, Croydon and Sutton.
It was a good introduction for most of the committee who had previously not covered Croydon or Sutton.
The first two visits were within the boundary of the old 'South London Committee'. Coney Hall Food store and West Wickham Funeral Care.
We then visited the New Addington store, due for a refit soon, and then contrasted this store with the newly refurbished store at Addiscombe. It was clear the difference that a £700,000 refit had made to the Addiscombe store.
The final visit was to the store at St Helier in Sutton. Rosehill Food store was the largest store we visited (c. 15,000 sq.ft).
More thoughts on this visit from Martin and Clive soon.
