Fire hits Woolwich shop
A fire has broken out this morning at a building on Woolwich New Road.
Fresh Fish and Meat Market saw damage with a number of people being rescued by the London Fire Brigade.
The parade of shops was set for redevelopment as part of the 1,000-home redevelopment project set to begin by 2024. Designs were revised so the frontages will now remain.
A fire broke out within the next door building in 2019. Earlier this month a fire damaged a building and cars a short distance away.
I hope everyone is safe including members of the emergency services who attended..
As mentioned the area is about to go under major registration. I believe shop owners are to be offered alternative premises until the new development is complete.
