This will have been covered already but what's happening with the garage now it's closed? Is it to reopen? It was hellish expensive but handy to have one in town. |

I don't know what is to happen with this garage, but I was told by somebody who knew about these things; that if a garage stopped selling fuel for more than seven days in a row, then the licence for the site lapsed and nobody could reopen on the same site for another seven years. |

When I called in to fill the bike up one day last week, the guy told me that it should have re-opened as a "Jet" brand garage ages ago, but there had been some delays. He also said that it would be privately owned. |

3 guys and a van are removing the interior shelving today...So either pulling out for new owners or leaving it with nothing in there? |

localman Of course you will always know better than anybody else! I was told my information from a forecourt attendant who has been in the job for years and he has had personal experience of this happening, he could be wrong or there is a possibility that YOU could be wrong but even if you are proved wrong I don’t expect you to admit it on here or anywhere else! It is hard to be humble when you are (think you are) perfect in every way. |

grandad correct me if I am wrong but the seven days relates to the notice tanker drivers have to give if they are going to go on strike. |

Preferred it without a shop & cash only . No being behind someone buying milk , bread , papers etc then trying to find which card worked . Straight in pay , back out & away |
