Whitgift Closing Down?

Is it true that the Whitgift will be closing down? Is so sad if this is the truth 😞. I have been visiting it for the past month or so as I heard these rumours but got told they might not be true??? Is it not going to close down after all?

Many thanks

I get a strong feeling if it does become flats there’s a huge advantage for the council as if they remove a huge amount of retail spaces and public areas it will appear that there’s less crime as there will be less loitering and visible homelessness

How will that benefit the council?

Its space for social housing.

What's that got to do with appearing to have less crime?

I said nothing about crime. Take a seat.

I work in social housing so thats why I commented.
