South London council scraps high street pedestrianisation plans after backlash

Terry Corne’s family-run shop, Terry’s Discount, has existed on Deptford High Street for the last 50 years. Reacting to the pedestrianisation plans being halted, Terry said: “I’m glad in a way because now customers can come to the shop and pick up heavy stuff and put it in their car and drive off. They’re able to get bags and bags of soil. This is good, I’m glad anyway.”
